Austen Roellig cruises into second against St. John’s, adding another extra‑base hit to a strong early stretch. The redshirt sophomore has appeared in 11 of ASU’s first 12 games and is hitting .306 with five doubles, a home run, and 7 driven in.
Matt Polk has opened his ASU career with the kind of steady, efficient production that translates no matter the opponent. Through his first stretch of games he’s hitting .308 with a 1.000 OPS, already logging a triple, a homer, four RBIs, and a clean stolen base attempt. It’s a small sample, but the at‑bats have been mature and the contact has been loud.
Landon Hairston steps in during a key trip to the plate in Saturday's 3-1 win over St. Johns, a tight pitching duel that pushed the Sun Devils to a 6-0 start on the season. Through the first two weekends, Hairston is leading the Devils with a .409 average (9-for-22), a 1.227 OPS, 10 RBI and 2 stolen bases. He sits in the top four on the roster in every major offensive category and currently leads the team in Hits and Doubles.
On a warm afternoon at Phoenix Muni, Nuʻu Contrades gets loose before the start of play against Omaha. Through the first two games of the 2026 season, the junior infielder has been a force at the plate, hitting .500 with a double and a grand slam in Saturday’s win. He’s also been perfect in his nine defensive chances at second base, providing steady play in the middle of the diamond. A strong start for a veteran Sun Devil who knows exactly where this team wants to be when June rolls around.
On a day where he went 3 for 5 with a HR and 3 RBIs at the plate, Redshirt Junior Kyle Walker gets the put-out at 2B before spinning to continue the play. The Sun Devils beat the Cougars, 13-3.
