Maggie Daniel brings catcher pop, proven bat, and roster flexibility to Ohio State
Maggie Daniel is a transfer catcher/utility piece for Ohio State whose appeal starts with a legit offensive track record and extends to her versatility behind the plate. In 2025 at UCLA, she appeared in 35 games and made 30 starts, including 29 at catcher, while driving in six runs and hitting two home runs; her high school résumé was louder still, with a .443 average, .613 on-base percentage, 14 homers, and 37 RBI as a 2024 senior. She also earned three straight ASWA 7A first-team all-state honors, which screams consistent impact, not one-hot-week noise. She missed game action in 2026 because of injury, so the fit hinges on health—but when she’s right, she looks like a high-upside, blue-collar lineup and roster glue player.
