UNCG’s steady infield spark and middle-order pop
Budzik is coming off a strong 2026 season for UNC Greensboro, where he earned All-SoCon Second Team honors and led the Spartans in doubles, home runs, RBI, slugging, and OPS; he also started 51 games and handled the infield reliably. His profile stands out because he combines extra-base power with dependable defense and durability, plus a strong academic reputation as a two-time CSC Academic All-District selection. For a team, he looks like a high-effort, high-floor addition with enough bat-to-ball impact and gap power to matter right away.
