Iowa's Resilient Catcher with Big Ten Sportsmanship Honors
Max Burt, the 6'0", 227-lb catcher for the Iowa Hawkeyes, stands out not just for his 2025 season stats (.250 batting, 3 RBIs) but for his Big Ten Sportsmanship Honoree title, reflecting an intensity and personality that elevates team culture beyond the box score. Though he missed 2024 action, his return in 2025 with 7 appearances and 3 runs scored shows resilience and readiness. His 11 career home runs and 48 RBIs, plus five school records (career hits: 222, RBIs: 227), highlight a differentiator: a catcher who contributes power and consistency. With a 1.90–2.09 pop time and right-handed bat, he's a strong fit for teams valuing leadership, durability, and offensive upside from the mound.
