Tyson LeBlanc is Kansas’s record-setting power bat with rare speed for a middle infielder
LeBlanc emerged in 2026 as one of college baseball’s most dangerous all-around hitters, finishing with a KU single-season record 25 home runs, a .341 average, 69 RBIs and 11 stolen bases while starting every game at shortstop, and he was named a Second Team All-American.[6][8][11] His biggest differentiator is impact: he pairs real game-changing power with enough speed to stay a run threat on the bases, plus postseason production and poise in big moments, including regional and Big 12 Tournament MVP-type stretches.[9][12][15] For a team, he fits as a high-upside, middle-of-the-order INF/OF who brings intensity, leverage power, and winning production, not just box-score stats.[3][13]
