William Barthel brings polished infield upside and a high-character profile to Wagner
Barthel arrives at Wagner in the 2026 season as a right-handed infielder from East Haven, Connecticut, where he was a two-time All-Conference pick and earned the CIAC Scholar Athlete Award. He profiles as a sturdy 6-foot, 205-pound corner-infield type with a strong contact-to-power build and the kind of coach-friendly makeup that usually translates well to a college roster. There are no official 2026 game stats yet, so the main draw is his track record, versatility, and competitive, classroom-first background rather than a stat-sheet résumé.
