Gavin West brings proven junior-college power to Ohio State’s infield
In the 2026 season, Gavin West arrives at Ohio State as a junior infielder with real pop and production: at Gordon State College, he hit .333 with 110 hits, 32 home runs and 123 RBIs across 104 games, and he was named the 2025 GCAA Player of the Year. That profile screams middle-order impact, not just glove-first depth. He looks like a fit for a team that wants a right-handed bat with legitimate extra-base threat and veteran experience, and his decorated JUCO track record suggests he’s wired to compete.
