Collegiate baseball is picking up steam. Players, coaches and fans alike are settling into their routines with conference play looming around the corner. Week three of the season should offer more excitement, upsets and craziness, but before it gets here, it’s time to look at three members of the 2026 Brewster Whitecaps roster who showed out in week two.

Brendan Lawson, Florida, INF

Brendan Lawson apparently isn’t familiar with the term “sophomore slump.”

The Gator has parlayed an SEC All-Freshman team first season and a Whitecaps Offensive Player of the Year award over the summer into a second straight monster week to start his 2026 collegiate campaign.

Against Kennesaw State over the weekend, Lawson was only able to pick up two hits and two RBIs, but walked five times, setting up his teammates down the order and scoring once in each game as Florida swept.

It was in his two midweek matchups against Florida International, though, where Lawson truly went berserk.

On Wednesday, he recorded a career-high six RBIs off the back of a three-run home run and two RBI singles, doing well to top his two-hit, four-RBI Tuesday performance.

All in all, Lawson finished collegiate baseball’s second week with seven hits and 12 RBIs, and is up to a .469/.630/.906 slash line with three home runs on the young season. His numbers will surely return to earth to some extent, but he’s doing well to show why he’s Baseball America’s No. 1 prospect in the 2027 draft class.

Dalton Wentz, Wake Forest, INF

Dalton Wentz is another Whitecaps returner for the upcoming summer who had an amazing second week playing for his college.

The draft-eligible sophomore infielder went off against Siena University over the weekend and continued that success into Wake Forest’s midweek matchup on the road against UNC Greensboro, helping the Demon Deacons go 4-0 on the week.

It was the Friday afternoon matchup against the Saints where he did the most of his damage, going 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks and four RBIs. He added his second home run, a two-run blast, on Sunday and recorded his final two hits of the week, one of which was a triple, against the Spartans.

When it was all said and done, he walked away from the four games sporting a .550 on-base percentage on the week, a 1.143 slugging percentage, five hits, three home runs and six walks.

Wentz currently stands as Baseball America’s No. 105 prospect in the upcoming MLB Draft, but if he can stay hot, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him make a climb.

Rohan Lettow, San Diego State, RHP

Unlike Lawson and Wentz, San Diego State junior right-handed pitcher Rohan Lettow has yet to don a Whitecaps uniform, but that’ll change this upcoming summer, and if he continues to pitch like he did against BYU on Feb. 20, he could become a true force for manager Jamie Shevchik.

As the Aztecs' Friday starter, it was up to Lettow to set the tone against the Cougars, and he did just that, twirling 6.2 innings of no-run ball, striking 10 along the way and allowing just two hits and two walks.

It would’ve been an impressive performance against anyone, but it was especially impressive against a power-four opponent. The Mountain West Conference ended up naming him its Pitcher of the Week for his efforts.

Lettow’s 10 K’s against BYU bring him up to 20 punchouts through his first two starts, tying him for fourth in the nation. Whether or not he can keep his name near the top of the leaderboard will be a storyline to watch as the year progresses.

Consistency will be important for Lettow throughout the season, as SDSU is offering him the chance to be the focal point of its rotation after making just six appearances (two starts) across two years at Arizona State.

And while Lettow will be new to the Whitecaps and the Cape Cod Baseball League, he’s not new to summer ball, spending his last two summers with the Walnut Creek Crawdads of the California Collegiate League and the Martha's Vineyard Sharks of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, posting a 2.31 ERA and 1.72 ERA in those two leagues, respectively.
