Notre Dame baseball lands pitcher/first baseman transfer for 2026

Notre Dame gets a left-handed bat who can pitch.

Notre Dame baseball is getting pitcher/first baseman Sean Scanlon for the 2026 season.

He’ll be coming to the Fighting Irish for his grad year — Scanlon is currently entering his senior year at Holy Cross.

Scanlon throws right-handed and bats lefty, and the 6-3, 220-pound Scanlon has been All-Patriot League Second Team in 2022 and 2023.

He pitched 5.0 innings in two games in 2024, with a 7.20 ERA, 5 K, 2 walks, 7 hits, 4 runs, and a 0-0 record.

Scanlon batted .286 with 2 homers, 6 RBI, 6 hits, 1 double, 6 BB, and 9 strikeouts in 6 games.

His fielding numbers look clean, with no errors in the winter/spring of 2024.

Notre Dame will be happy to welcome this left-handed-hitting first baseman.
