Dartmouth’s contact-first infield spark with elite on-base instincts
In the 2025 season, Taer Rodriguez was one of Dartmouth’s most reliable bats, leading the team with a .336 average and a .453 on-base percentage while earning All-Ivy Honorable Mention, Team MVP, and Offensive Player of the Year honors[1][4][8]. In the 2026 season, he again played every day for the Big Green and remained a steady table-setter, adding pop with timely extra-base hits and a home run, plus the kind of gritty at-bats and hit-by-pitch draw that keep innings alive[1][9][12]. He looks like a high-IQ, high-effort infielder who fits a club that values contact, toughness, and consistency over flash[1][4].
