- Martin, who wears 42 on the back of his jersey, worked his 42nd walk of the season on Sunday which ranks first in the Big Ten and 15th in the nation.
- The junior is currently riding a 75-game on-base streak dating back to 3/28/25 vs. Northwestern and set a new program record with a 45-game on-base streak to open the 2026 season.

that guy ty
- Shortstop Ty Kaunas has impressed in his freshman season so far. He has eight hits over the past four games including his fifth home run to put him at 21 XBH this season. He has the second most hits on the team with 56.
- The freshman's 15 doubles leads all Big Ten freshmen and sits third overall in the conference.
- Kaunas, who is the only player to start every game at the same position, shortstop, has made some incredible plays on defense. He has helped turn 20 double plays from the 6.
- Kaunas has worked 39 walks this season which is the second most in the conference and the second most in the NCAA among freshmen.

David Mendez has caught fire in Big Ten play, leading the team with a .378 batting average.
- He has hit for a .312 average throughout this season and has racked up 54 hits, 18 XBH and 87 total bases this season. All three ranking in the top three on the team.
- On Friday, Mendez tallied six RBI. That marks a new single-game high by a Terp this season. He now sits on 38 RBI this season.
- Like his middle infield partner, Ty Kaunas, Mendez has impressed on defense. He leads the team in double plays and assists with 25 and 115, respectively.
Mendez picks up his 10th XBH across his 18-game hitting streak since March 27#DirtyTerps pic.twitter.com/0tS9KFOa8s
