Reese Cullen is an instant-impact Buckeyes freshman with pop behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Reese Cullen gave Ohio State a needed jolt as a freshman catcher/infielder, flashing power right away with her first Buckeye home run in an early-season win over Abilene Christian and earning a role in the lineup as the Buckeyes reworked key spots. She arrived with a strong prep resume—.504, 15 homers, 52 RBI as a senior—and her value goes beyond the box score: she brings size, right-handed pop, and the kind of edge Ohio State leaned on to replace experience. This is a high-upside fit if you want a young bat with legit two-way defensive flexibility and starter-level ceiling.[1][4][7]
