Chase Cretti brings contact-first infield grit to Washington
Chase Cretti enters the 2026 season as a junior infielder for Washington after transferring from Tacoma CC and listing at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, with a right-handed bat and throw[2]. In 2025 at Tacoma, he hit .331 with a .424 OBP, 57 hits, 42 runs, 34 RBI and 17 steals, which points to a reliable table-setter who can create pressure with speed and bat-to-ball skill[3]. He looks like a fit if you want a scrappy, high-energy INF who can grind at-bats and keep the offense moving rather than trying to be a pure power bat[1][2].
