Rees Campanale brings senior pop and clutch bat to CMU’s outfield mix
In the 2026 season, Rees Campanale, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior outfielder for Central Michigan, showed he can change a game with one swing: he delivered a two-run homer in the finale at UMass and earlier drew a bases-loaded walk in a late rally, while CMU’s notes also point to his strong finish after battling a shoulder injury that slowed him earlier in the year.[1][4][5] The fit here is pretty clear—he’s a physical right-handed bat with extra-base juice and a reputation as a patient, team-first senior who can help you when the game gets stressful, even if he’s more gap-to-fence grinder than flashy superstar.[1][5]
