Bucknell’s Contact-First Corner Outfielder Is Quietly Turning Into a Lineup Anchor
In the 2026 season, John Calabrese kept building on a strong freshman year, hitting .271 with 32 hits, 12 doubles, 18 RBI and a .378 on-base percentage while handling right field with a .955 fielding percentage. He stands out for disciplined at-bats, gap power and consistent bat-to-ball skills, and he earned Patriot League weekly honors after a three-game stretch where he went 5-for-10 with three doubles and two RBI. If your team values a steady, low-mistake hitter who can move the offense without needing to slug moonshots, he’s a fit.
