Breitenreiter burst onto the CMBA scene in 2026 and quickly became one of the Electrons’ most productive players. After going 1-for-3 in his league debut, he never saw his season batting average fall below .500 again, ultimately finishing with a team-high .517 average over 23 games.
Breitenreiter produced throughout the lineup, hitting everywhere from seventh to leadoff while leading the Electrons with 11 extra-base hits. He batted .455 with runners in scoring position, scored 28 runs and finished with twice as many walks as strikeouts.
His impact was just as significant elsewhere. Breitenreiter provided elite defense at shortstop and second base and contributed on the mound with two wins and two saves, completing an outstanding all-around debut season.
