Anthony DeCesare emerged as Delaware’s freshman bat to watch in 2026
In the 2026 season, Delaware catcher Anthony DeCesare flashed real middle-of-the-order upside, hitting .317 with a .416 OBP, .510 slugging percentage, seven home runs and 31 RBI, while finishing the year on an 11-game hitting streak. He was a freshman-team all-conference pick and also showed consistency after March 28, when he hit .370 with seven homers and reached base in 28 of 29 games. The draw here is the combo of bat speed, production, and durable day-to-day impact; if your team wants a young catcher who can hit for power and keep the offense moving, he’s absolutely worth a look.
