Vanderbilt Lands Power-Hitting Transfer Ward

Vanderbilt baseball just pulled off a major upgrade with the transfer of sophomore second baseman Blaize Ward from Missouri, a lefty hitter who’s batting .296 with power and low strikeouts — perfect for filling the void left by departed star Mike Mancini. With eligibility until 2028, Ward offers long-term value and already has a proven track record against the Commodores. He’s joined by outfielders Niko Brini and Bud Coombs, as Vanderbilt continues its aggressive roster-building through the transfer portal — a smart, strategic move to reload for immediate impact and future success.
