Maddix Simpson brings steady infield value and breakout-room upside for Ohio State
In his 2025 freshman season, Simpson became a regular right away, appearing in 36 games and starting 34 while hitting .237 with 27 hits, six doubles, two homers and 24 RBIs; Ohio State also recognized him as a 2025 Scholar Athlete. He stands out more for his all-around profile than loud tools: a polished bat from Bishop Verot, proven production against quality competition, and enough defensive flexibility to handle third base and shortstop. If your team wants a high-motor, versatile infielder with room to keep climbing, Simpson is the kind of player worth tracking.
