Justin Cherrington brings legit pop and size to Houston’s infield
In the 2026 season, Justin Cherrington has been a productive Houston infielder with a .211 average, 1 home run, 5 RBI and a .728 OPS, while earning notes for his power after a 427-foot grand slam against Rice[5][12]. The 6-foot-6, 240-pound sophomore stands out for raw strength, pull-side juice and run-production upside, and he arrived from Yavapai College after a 2025 season where he hit .424 with 12 homers and a 1.255 OPS[1][7][10]. If your team wants a big-bodied bat with middle-order upside and legitimate damage potential, he’s worth your attention[1][10].
