Garrett Michel brings veteran left-handed pop and steady infield value to ASU
In the 2026 season, Garrett Michel gave Arizona State a reliable veteran bat, hitting .277 with 12 doubles, 3 home runs, 20 RBI, and an .831 OPS in 49 games after an injury-shortened 2025 at Virginia Tech. He’s a left-handed hitter with real gap power, plus enough defensive steadiness to carry a career .989 fielding percentage. The bigger sell: he’s experienced, battle-tested, and productive without needing the spotlight — a good fit for a team wanting mature at-bats, contact quality, and low-drama competence.
