Owen Petrich gives Virginia Tech a grown-man power bat with clutch upside
In the 2026 season, Owen Petrich has been a steady middle-of-the-order infielder for Virginia Tech, producing a .253 average with 6 home runs, 32 RBIs, and a .324 on-base percentage across 54 games. He brings legit right-handed power, size at 6-2, 220, and a track record of driving in runs; his 2025 season at Saint Joseph’s included .310/.391/.571 with 15 homers and 61 RBIs. The fit is clear: he looks like a physical, experienced bat who can change a game late, though he’s more thunder than finesse.
