high-upside freshman utility bat with SEC-grade pedigree
In the 2026 season, Charlie Wortham was a redshirt freshman utility player at Mississippi State who did not record game action, but his recruiting profile still pops: Perfect Game ranked him Missouri’s top catching prospect and No. 4 overall player in the state, and he earned First Team All-MCC after leading De Smet Jesuit in several offensive categories as a senior. He’s a right-handed, 6-foot-1, 205-pound multi-position piece with contact skills, some pop, and enough defensive flexibility to be intriguing. The catch? He entered the transfer portal after the 2026 season, so his next fit will depend on how a new staff values his bat and versatility.
