Dane Harvey is Ohio State’s lefty power bat turning first base into a launchpad
In the 2026 season, Dane Harvey emerged as a middle-order force for Ohio State, hitting .328 with 19 home runs, 57 RBIs, a .729 slugging percentage, and a Big Ten-best 1.188 OPS while earning All-Big Ten Second Team honors. The 6-5, 270-pound lefty brings real thunder, but the standout trait is how quickly he translated junior-college production into Big Ten impact; he also showed enough defensive stability at first base to lock down a starting role. If your team wants instant left-handed power with proven run production, he’s a loud fit.
