LIU’s versatile 1B/UTL bat with pop and run-producing upside
Tyler Benick has emerged as a useful right-handed run producer for Long Island University, with LIU’s 2025 notes showing a .250 average, .687 OPS, 2 home runs and 20 RBI, plus a .984 fielding percentage at first base; in 2026, LIU listed him as a 6-4 sophomore at 1B/UTL. He’s the kind of fit that helps a lineup because he can handle first base, move around the diamond, and has shown timely RBI ability, including a four-RBI game and his first collegiate home run in 2025. The profile says “reliable glue guy with a little thunder,” which is a sneaky-good roster add.
