The Butler infield will look far different in 2025 than it did in 2024.  Ian Choi is one middle infield returner that expects to play more innings heading into his junior year. Choi appeared in 48 games last year, making 36 starts. He had 28 total hits including two doubles and four home runs.
 
AJ Solomon is another upperclassmen that can play different positions for BU in the infield. A South Bend native, Solomon appeared in 34 games during the 2024 campaign, making 20 starts. He recorded 14 hits and scored 16 runs. Solomon was near perfect in the field. He was credited with 43 putouts and 37 assists.
 
A pair of freshmen will push for playing time for Butler early in the year. Head Coach Blake Beemer has been impressed with both Harry Carr and Logan Crock since the two arrived on campus. These two teammates could make up the left side of the infield as the Bulldogs prepare for the start of the season at Tarleton State.
 
Crock is from Noblesville and hit .380 as a senior while scoring 39 runs. He set the program single-season stolen bases record with 32 and was selected as an Indiana High School All-Star. Carr was a three-time All-Conference selection in high school that helped his team win a Philadelphia Catholic League Championship.
 
Jack Bello, David Ayers, and Danny Barbero give the Bulldogs even more options for their lineup. Bello is a transfer from Air Force that can also pitch. Barbero is another newcomer that was selected to the MAAC All-Rookie Team in 2023 while at Siena and Ayers is a proven player that made his way into the lineup 23 times last year for the Bulldogs.
 
Behind the plate, BU will return Zach Munton and Drew Charney. They added Monroe CC transfer Connor Sackett and freshman Gunnar Duncan to the position group. Munton has the most experience with the program. He played in 46 games in 2024, making 32 starts. Charney was also busy back there making 33 total appearances with 18 starts.
 
Sackett gives the group another layer of experience after playing as a First Team All-Conference selection at Monroe. He hit .416 and led all D2 JUCO players in triples during his sophomore season. Duncan is a promising All-State selection from Eaton, Colo. He hit .525 as a senior with 43 RBIs and 32 runs scored.
