Drew Howard is Western Michigan’s table-setter with a hot bat and winning DNA
In the 2026 season, Drew Howard has been one of Western Michigan’s most reliable contact hitters, entering late February with a .469 average and a .538 weekend burst that included a 5-for-5 game, plus team-leading plate discipline and top-tier run production. He finished the 2026 campaign batting .349 with a team-high 26 walks, 43 runs, 40 RBIs and 8 steals, showing he can hit, get on base, and create havoc. The differentiator: he’s more than stats — he’s a senior middle infielder who consistently delivers in big spots and plays with enough grit to anchor the lineup.
