Carter Danz gives Northwestern two-way flexibility with a live arm and a bat in play
In the 2026 season, Carter Danz is a true utility piece for Northwestern, appearing both on the mound and at the plate while giving the Wildcats lineup and staff rare roster flexibility. The 6-foot-3 sophomore from Corona del Mar was a two-way watch-list name in 2025 and has already shown he can absorb multiple roles, including short stints in relief and extra-position duty in left field. His edge is versatility, size, and competitive trust: the kind of player coaches like because he can quietly solve problems without needing the spotlight.
