Hofstra infielder Daniel Escalante is a contact-first bat on the rise
Escalante is coming off a strong early-season showing for Hofstra, including a 3-for-4 game with a double and run scored in the 2026 CAA opener at Charleston, and he also recorded his first career start with back-to-back multi-hit games. Hofstra’s release on his signing notes a productive prep profile at Wyoming Valley West, where he hit .323 with a .468 on-base percentage, 21 RBI and 20 runs in his last season before college. The fit is appealing if you want a reliable, improving hitter with offensive upside and a bat that already shows feel for getting on base.
