Ian Blazier is emerging as a steady, high-contact spark for Saint Louis
In the 2026 season, Ian Blazier has given Saint Louis a legit table-setter with impact: he’s been hitting .413 with a 1.089 OPS and leads the Billikens in conference play with a .373 average, while adding speed, gap power, and versatility in the infield[2][4][13]. He also showed he can change a game with timely extra-base hits and a 10-game hitting streak, which says “reliable” with a little extra juice[3][5][6]. If you want an energetic, contact-first infielder who can get hot and punish mistakes, he looks like a strong fit.
