Rees Kozar is a dual-threat bat with a knack for clutch extra-base damage
In the 2026 season, Niagara’s Rees Kozar has been a steady middle-of-the-order piece, and opposing coaches have singled him out as a “player to watch” after he posted a .302 average, .823 OPS, and team-leading 22 RBIs by mid-April. He brings real offensive juice with power to gap and pull, plus versatility as a C/OF, and his 2025 breakout showed patience and impact contact with a .411 on-base percentage, 19 walks, 11 hit-by-pitches, and MAAC All-Rookie honors. If you want a tough, productive competitor who can wear down pitchers and create runs, he fits the bill.
