Miami’s gritty, clutch infield bat with real middle-infield value
In the 2026 season, Vance Sheahan became a dependable everyday piece for Miami, starting 52 games at shortstop and hitting .275 with 50 hits, 30 RBI, a .376 on-base percentage, and seven steals in 10 attempts. His best calling card is versatility with juice in big spots: he delivered a 13th-inning walk-off homer vs. UCF, added postseason production, and even led the Hurricanes with five sacrifice hits. He’s a fit if you want toughness, situational savvy, and a bat that can punish mistakes—though defensive consistency remains the swing factor.
