Spencer Verburg brings veteran pop and steady backstop value to CMU
In the 2026 season, Central Michigan catcher Spencer Verburg looks like a reliable, experienced Chippewa with sneaky power: he entered the year as a redshirt senior, earned MAC academic honors, and has shown he can deliver timely extra-base damage, including multiple home runs and a five-homer season note in 2026 coverage. He’s the kind of player coaches trust for the grind behind the plate—steady, mature, and capable of clutch at-bats—which makes him a strong fit for a team that values defense, leadership, and professional-level accountability.
