Dean O’Neill is giving Middle Tennessee a middle-order jolt
In the 2026 season, Middle Tennessee’s Dean O’Neill has been one of the Blue Raiders’ most reliable bats, starting and appearing in all 57 games while tying for the team lead with 12 home runs and leading the roster in several offensive categories. He brings a rugged, right-handed power profile from the catcher/first-base mix, and the buzz around him is more than the box score: local coverage calls him a beloved, high-energy presence who settled in quickly and lifts the dugout. If you want a tough, seasoned run producer with edge, he fits.
