Cade Climie is Houston’s thump-first infield bat with legit middle-order pop
In the 2026 season, Cade Climie has been a difference-maker for Houston, hitting .338 with a 1.109 OPS, 10 home runs, 29 RBIs and 16 doubles while drawing 32 walks across 44 games—real extra-base juice with on-base value to match. He was also named the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year before the 2025 season, and his track record includes a 2024 JUCO national title at Blinn. Why care? He brings impact-contact power, a strong competitive edge, and enough offensive polish to project as an immediate fit if your team needs a proven run producer.
