Estabrook is Columbia’s steady two-way spark behind the plate
Owen Estabrook is the kind of catcher coaches love: in the 2026 season for Columbia, he started 39 games behind the plate, hit five home runs, drove in 23 runs, and posted a near-perfect .997 fielding percentage with just one error[1]. He also earned Ivy League Player of the Week after a 4-for-10 weekend at Kansas State with a homer, seven RBI, and three extra-base hits[2]. The separator is his all-around value — clutch bat, elite defense, and strong control of the running game — making him a fit for teams that want toughness, reliability, and a little late-inning swagger[1][5].
