PJ Hughes brings sneaky-on-base upside and family-baseball bloodlines to Richmond’s infield
In the 2025 season, PJ Hughes appeared in seven games for Richmond, collected two hits and a walk in three plate appearances, and notched his first collegiate hit and RBI in his debut — a tiny sample, yes, but a clean start for a junior infielder with a compact 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame and a strong baseball pedigree. He’s the kind of depth piece who can earn trust quickly: steady, versatile, and clearly well-schooled in the game. If you like players who make the routine look easy and grow into bigger roles, Hughes is worth a closer look.
