Left-handed thump, plus first-base size, and real 2026 impact despite a short season
In the 2026 season, Eric Cha showed legit middle-of-the-order traits for Northeastern: he hit .310 with 3 home runs, 11 RBIs, and a .914 OPS, and he was especially dangerous in key spots like the 2-for-3, double-and-homer outing against Towson on March 13, 2026[3][5]. He’s a 6-foot-4, 230-pound right-handed hitter with clear power, and a preseason preview noted improved bat-to-ball skills after he posted a .312/.379/.424 line with three homers in summer ball, though his 2026 season was limited to 16 games by injury before a later Duke transfer link emerged[10][15].
