Mikey Bell ended the 2026 season with a .378 batting average while starting all 53 games this season. He hit for 24 doubles, the fifth most doubles of any Division 1 Baseball player. His 85 total hits were the 25th most in Division 1 baseball on the year and ninth most in a single season in program history.
