Eric Cha is emerging as Northeastern’s power-first bat at first base
In the 2026 season, Eric Cha has flashed real middle-of-the-order juice for Northeastern, highlighted by a stretch of three home runs in three games and a multi-hit, multi-extra-base-hit outing against Towson. He’s a physical 6-foot-4, 230-pound right-handed first baseman with proven power, and his summer-ball line (.312/.379/.424 with 3 HR in 33 games) suggests the contact gains are real, not smoke and mirrors. The fit is obvious: if you want a bat with legitimate pop, improving bat-to-ball skills, and steady first-base defense, Cha is worth a serious look.
