Jackson Babione brings pop, clutch bat for Manhattan’s infield
In the 2026 season, Jackson Babione has given Manhattan a useful infield bat with mid-.200s production and real gap-to-fence upside, including a three-run homer against La Salle that showed he can change a game in one swing. His profile reads like a steady, competitive right-handed infielder who can chip in run production without needing a perfect setup. The numbers suggest a solid everyday contributor rather than a pure headline machine, but the home-run touch and RBI ability make him the kind of player a roster can quietly lean on.
