After starting all 56 games at third base for Penn State, Bryce Molinaro will be returning for the 2026 season.

He was selected in the 17th round at pick No. 501 by the Washington Nationals, but the rising redshirt junior went public on his Instagram on Friday that he will be back in Happy Valley.

Molinaro was a key contributor this past year, garnering 61 RBIs which was second all-time for a Nittany Lion in a single season as well as posting 60 hits, 34 walks and 13 home runs.

"I'm coming back determined to dominante on the field and to keep developing under coach Gambino and his tremendous staff," Molinaro wrote.
