Former QB turned Wildcats power bat with All-Big Ten pop
In the 2026 season, Jack Lausch became Northwestern’s offensive engine, leading the Wildcats in batting average (.312), slugging percentage (.653), home runs (16), RBI (41), hits (63), runs (52), triples (4), and total bases (132), while starting all 52 games; his 16 homers and 132 total bases both ranked second in program history. He earned Third Team All-Big Ten and the program’s Paul Stevens Life Teammate Award, which tracks with the reputation: high-character, competitive, and reliable. If you want a center-field bat with real middle-of-the-order juice and proven leadership, he’s a strong fit.
