Josiah Overbeek is Army’s breakout two-way freshman force
In the 2026 season, Josiah Overbeek emerged as one of Army’s most electric freshmen, hitting .314 with a 1.226 OPS, tying a program single-season record with 17 home runs and drawing a freshman-record 56 walks while also going 5-0 with five saves in relief. He’s a rare 1B/RHP who brings power, patience, and real late-inning utility, and his recognition as Patriot League Rookie of the Year plus a Baseball America freshman watch-list nod says the buzz is legit. If your team wants a high-upside bat with competitive edge and two-way versatility, he’s exactly the kind of kid worth getting excited about.
