Jon Howard is Longwood’s Veteran Power Bat, and He’s Getting Hot at the Perfect Time
In the 2026 season, Jon Howard has been one of Longwood’s most dangerous middle-order bats, finishing with 16 home runs and 57 RBI while posting a .276 average and .384 OBP. He’s a right-handed infielder with real pop, a mature approach, and a knack for changing games in bunches—he was named Big South Player of the Week after a four-homer week in March, and Longwood notes his veteran, transfer-driven maturity. If your team wants a proven run producer who can carry an offense when he locks in, Howard is absolutely worth the look.
