John Paul Head’s power surge made him one of UAB’s most dangerous bats
Head is a high-ceiling outfielder whose 2026 breakout gave UAB a genuine middle-of-the-order threat: he hit .329 with a .457 on-base percentage, a .710 slugging percentage, 22 home runs, and a conference-best 1.167 OPS while starting all 55 games. He’s more than a stat-line slugger—Baseball America ranked him the No. 55 prospect for the 2027 MLB Draft, including No. 7 among outfielders, after a week where he hit six homers and earned national honors. If your team wants impact power, patience, and momentum, he fits.
