Owen ten Oever is flashing serious pop for Indiana
In the 2026 season, Indiana catcher Owen ten Oever showed real middle-of-the-order upside, hitting .314 with 6 home runs, 27 RBIs, a .570 slugging percentage, and an OPS over .900 while earning Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors after an eight-hit week. He’s a right-handed bat with power, a strong 6-foot-1, 216-pound frame, and he’s already shown he can handle pressure moments — including a grand slam and a 14-game on-base streak to finish the year. The fit? If you want a catcher with bat-first upside and emerging game-changing strength, he’s very intriguing.
