Cerny is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound righthanded-hitting infielder who went unpicked as a draft-eligible sophomore in 2024. Cerny’s 2025 season was a near carbon copy of his 2024 campaign. He hit .281/.286/.517 as a junior and has hit .292/.371/.511 for his Indiana career. He has hit exactly 10 home runs in each of his three seasons, with a hunched over stance and an aggressive approach at the plate. Cerny is a hit-by-pitch magnet, which plays a role in him getting on base. His 45 career HBPs is a school record and exactly matched his number of career walks. Cerny likes to frequently swing the bat, both at pitches inside and outside of the zone, which caps his walk rate. His contact skills aren’t good enough to make that approach work in pro ball, so he’s going to need to learn to be more selective. He’s logged plenty of time at both shortstop and second base in college and has a chance to play both with solid range and actions. If he goes unselected, Cerny is set to transfer to Kentucky.
