Owen Meli brings size, speed, and sneaky extra-base pop to Cal Poly’s outfield mix
In the 2026 season, Owen Meli flashed a useful early profile for Cal Poly: he posted a .300 average with a .400 slugging percentage in 13 games, and he backed it up with a strong summer by hitting .262 for the Conejo Oaks while going 9-for-9 on stolen-base attempts. The 6-foot-3 freshman looks like a high-motor, multi-tool outfielder whose value goes beyond the box score—he adds athleticism, physical upside, and a hitter’s approach that earned him a productive summer stop and a reputation as a reliable, competitive bat with room to grow.
