UIC’s midseason bat-to-ball bully with pop
In the 2026 season, Thomas Curry has been a steady middle-order force for UIC, leading the team with a .309 batting average and 30 hits while also ranking near the top in RBI and extra-base power; he was even named to the Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year midseason watch list. He brings real lineup flexibility as a C/OF, has shown clutch juice with multiple big RBI swings, and gives the Flames a physical, run-producing presence with defensive credibility behind the plate. If you want toughness, pop, and a catcher who can hit enough to matter, Curry is your guy.
