Jocelyn Owen is giving EKU real pop behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Eastern Kentucky catcher Jocelyn Owen flashed a legit offensive ceiling with her first career home run — a grand slam against Central Arkansas — while also contributing as a versatile right-handed bat and a steady presence behind the plate[3][5]. Her profile is built on power, contact spray ability, and catcher training pedigree, and her high school résumé and immediate welcome at EKU suggest a player who brings both competitive edge and good energy to the room[1][2]. She looks like a strong fit if a team wants a young catcher with upside, toughness, and a little bit of thunder.
