Noah Coy is becoming Notre Dame’s steady sparkplug in the middle infield
Noah Coy’s 2026 season has been the profile of a high-value, all-around infielder: he earned Brooks Wallace Award semifinalist honors, hit .313 through 35 games with a .455 on-base percentage, and added elite extra-base impact with triples while starting every game at shortstop[7]. He also brought legit pop—he hit a 412-foot homer and a grand slam in March—and pairs that with speed, patient at-bats, and dependable defense, including a .966 fielding percentage at shortstop[7][12][13]. Add in his first All-ACC Academic Team honor and you’ve got a polished, competitive, coach-friendly fit who can help a team in more ways than the box score shows[8].
