Jackson Babione is giving Manhattan a reliable left-side bat with pop
Babione’s 2026 season has flashed real run-producing value for Manhattan, including a three-run homer against La Salle and multiple RBI games in MAAC play, which tells you he’s more than just a contact bat[2][4][6]. He profiles as a steady infield option with a knack for showing up in pressure spots, and the offensive line suggests a hitter with enough extra-base juice to change an inning rather than merely extend one[2]. For a team that wants competitive at-bats, middle-infield steadiness, and a player who can quietly swing momentum, he’s a pretty attractive fit[1][3].
