Tyson Owens is Kansas’ high-contact, high-impact newcomer
Owens has been one of Kansas baseball’s most productive bats in 2026, leading the Jayhawks in batting average (.365), on-base percentage (.519), slugging (.630), hits, walks, home runs and extra-base hits while adding 21 steals in 59 games. He also flashed big-game juice with a .625 week that earned Big 12 Player and Newcomer of the Week honors, including three homers and clutch late-inning drives against Nebraska and Kansas State. The appeal is clear: left-right versatility, patience, power and run production in a lineup-driving profile.
