Dawson Santana is a contact-oriented infielder who gives San Diego State a steady on-base presence
In the 2026 season, Dawson Santana has emerged as a useful San Diego State infielder with a .250 batting average, .400 on-base percentage, and 27 RBI, showing a patient approach and a knack for getting on base rather than selling out for power. His value is in steady at-bats, lineup flexibility, and a balanced offensive profile that can lengthen an order without needing to be a middle-of-the-order slugger. Earlier at Oregon State, he showed the same traits in limited action, including walk rate and situational production that suggest a mature, disciplined bat for a team needing reliability over flash.
