Connor Ostrander gives Western Michigan a versatile, contact-first bat with pop
In the 2026 season, Connor Ostrander has been a steady presence for Western Michigan, posting a .235 average with a .665 OPS in 28 games and 24 starts, while also producing several timely extra-base and RBI swings. He looks like the kind of middle-infield/utility-adjacent competitor who can help a lineup with bat-to-ball skills, situational toughness, and enough strength to punish mistakes—he’s already shown a knack for working counts and coming through in clutch spots, including a solo homer and a bases-clearing double earlier in the year. The fit: a useful, gritty, versatile piece with real game-to-game value.
