Congratulations Hairy Bonds on being named Big XII Player of the Year!

Dean Toigo

A shot to the left side by Toigo vs Baylor. His .322 avg, 11 doubles and 16 HR make the transfer from UNLV one of ASU's most productive hitters this season.

Kole Klecker

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-04-27T00:00:00.0000000Z

Klecker is a veteran right‑hander who came to ASU after three seasons at TCU, where he was a freshman All‑American and a 10‑game winner. He brought real mileage, strike‑throwing, and big‑game experience into this matchup with Baylor.

Dominic Smaldino Steps to the Plate

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-04-16T00:00:00.0000000Z

Dominic Smaldino steps in against St Johns. The junior infielder has shown real power this spring, including a 480‑foot shot at Globe Life and an average home run distance that ranks among the national leaders.

Colin Linder

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-04-11T00:00:00.0000000Z

Colin Linder is back on the mound after redshirting 2025 while recovering from arm surgery. Before arriving in Tempe, he logged 16 appearances at Northwest Florida State with a 3.79 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 35.2 innings. The frame and the stuff are both intact, and the Devils are counting on that experience to surface quickly.

Jaxsyn Durst

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-04-03T00:00:00.0000000Z

A freshman outfielder from Reno, Jaxsyn Durst arrives in Tempe with the kind of profile that tends to age well in the Big‑12. A 2024 Northern 5A All‑League selection and finalist for Northern Nevada Player of the Year, he finished high school as a top‑10 outfielder in the state and a top‑500 national prospect. He also showed well on the summer circuit, earning a spot in the NNBCA Underclass All‑Star Game. It's still early in his Sun Devil career, but the tools and competitiveness are there for him to grow into a meaningful role in the years ahead.

Don't Pitch to Hairston if You Want to Win

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-03-31T00:00:00.0000000Z

Landon Hairston has been hitting like a video‑game create‑a-player: a .468 average with a 1.544 OPS and 15 home runs in 28 games is production that almost never shows up in real life. These numbers aren't just unbelievable, they're the kind of once‑in‑a‑lifetime statistics that makes you double‑check the stat sheet to be sure it isn’t a typo. We are witnessing something special for Sun Devil baseball in 2026.

Sean Fitzpatrick

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-03-26T00:00:00.0000000Z

A senior left‑hander who has become one of ASU's most reliable late‑inning options, trusted to take on the tougher pockets of a lineup and work through the moments that matter. His track record of handling inherited runners and navigating leverage has made him a go‑to arm in tight situations.

Zavorek Set and Ready

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-03-19T00:00:00.0000000Z

Beckett Zavorek has settled in as a reliable infield presence, showing the same quick transfer and clean defensive instincts that defined his Bullard High days. He’s already stacked a pair of multi‑hit games this season and continues to put together competitive at‑bats. A lean, athletic sophomore who plays with quiet confidence, he looks more comfortable every week.

Hairston with ANOTHER Grand Slam

Barry S. Stahl — 2026-03-15T00:00:00.0000000Z

Landon Hairston crushes his 3rd Grand Slam of the season to help lead ASU to a 15-8 win over TCU on Saturday at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
