Big, switch-on-the-impact, run-producing infielder for Louisiana
In the 2026 season, Drew Markle has been a clear middle-order threat for Louisiana, posting a .271 average with 6 home runs, 44 RBIs, 50 runs, and a .796 OPS while also going 15-for-16 on stolen-base chances[4]. At 6-foot-5 and 190 pounds, he brings uncommon size for an infielder, and the box score backs up the power-speed blend, including a walk-off homer vs. Kansas State and an RBI single in a tight win at Old Dominion[5][11]. He looks like a fit for teams that want length, pop, and some sneaky athleticism in the dirt[1][4].
