Tate Vogler gives Columbia a sneaky-power corner infield bat with real pop
In the 2026 season, Tate Vogler hit .250 with 30 hits, 4 home runs, 14 RBIs, 21 runs scored, 12 walks, and a .993 fielding percentage for Columbia, which screams dependable glove-plus-pop utility at the corners rather than pure slugger chaos. He also flashed clutch value, including a 3-for-4, 3-RBI game with a ninth-inning homer against Mercer, and his prep track record included a .550 high-school batting average and All-Conference/All-State honors. At 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, he looks like a physical infielder who can handle pressure and bring some thunder without sacrificing steadiness.
