Out of the 18 key contributors to 2025’s historic 49-win season, only 4 players — including zero pitchers — are returning for the 2026 campaign. As the team has its sights set on returning to the pinnacle of the CAA, it will have to do so with a completely reimagined roster. Here are our projections for who will step in this season:

Catcher: Will Fosberg — With 36 starts last season split between Catcher and DH, Fosberg looks primed to take over primary catching duties with Gregory Bozzo’s departure. The left-handed hitter managed only a .224 batting average, but showed some pop with 3 home runs in 125 at bats.

First Base: Eric Cha — One of the more intriguing pieces of the new-look lineup, the 6’3” sophomore has the potential to mash double-digit home runs, potentially filling some of the power gap left by Cam Maldonado and Jack Goodman.

Second Base: AJ Aschettino — Second base presents the most uncertainty as Mike Glavine begins filling out lineup cards, but the redshirt freshman offers the most appealing combination of speed and power potential. While the departure of Maldonado and Goodman churned 25 home runs, it also left a gap of 49 stolen bases, and Aschettino could help plug that hole.

Third Base: Chris Walsh — The junior infielder carved out a role for himself last year after Jack Goodman’s injury in the Beanpot final. Already a trusted defensive asset, Walsh will look to find his swing with more consistent at bats.

Shortstop: Carmelo Musacchia — With the departure of Jack Goodman, all signs point to Musacchia’s return to the position where he started his career with the Huskies as a freshman in 2026. The senior will provide veteran leadership to an otherwise inexperienced infield.

Left Field: Carter Bentley — Although he failed to find much playing time among a stacked outfield last season, the sophomore is still one of the better recruits from recent years, ranking as the #1 outfielder from Massachusetts last year. It seems likely that Glavine will go Bentley to begin the year, but he may be quick to give freshman David Pengel and opportunity if the production isn’t there.

Center Field: Harrison Feinberg — The reigning CAA player of the year will anchor the team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. A true five-tool player, he will be the heart and soul of the team as he looks to position himself as a high draft pick.

Right Field: Ryan Gerety — A near-lock to return to the leadoff spot in the batting order, the junior will look to continue being a table-setter for Feinberg and the heart of the order.

Designated Hitter: Ian Oehlschlaeger — After posting otherworldly numbers at RPI last season, the 6’5” sophomore will likely find himself with a key role in a Husky lineup that is looking for power.

Starting Pitcher #1: Landon Manzi — Although he is not slated to start in the opening weekend, the 14th-round draft selection undoubtedly has the highest ceiling, and strong performances early in the year will make it impossible to keep him out of primary rotation spot.

Starting Pitcher #2: Andrew Wertz — While much of his prior work has come as a reliever, the graduate transfer brings veteran experience and excellent control which will translate well to a starting role.

Starting Pitcher #3: Robbie O’Connor — The baseball card numbers don’t jump off the page, but O’Connor brings the most collegiate starting experience of anyone on the roster, having made 14 starts in each of the last two seasons.

Starting Pitcher #4: Matthew Sapienza — Needing a change of scenery (and perhaps some better coaching), the graduate transfer has the chance to blossom and secure a key role amidst a young pitching staff.

Closer: Carson Walsh — The returning pitcher with the most innings thrown last season (9.2), the senior pitched to a 3.72 ERA, including a crucial 3 scoreless innings in the Huskies’ thrilling 5-3 win over Kansas State.

Key Relievers: Andrew Rogovic, Jack Cropper, Joseph Hauser, Angel Cruz, Nick Coniglio, Scott Longo, Max Marchetti
