Jake Altman’s on-base skills keep him in the Norse lineup
In the 2025 season, Northern Kentucky infielder Jake Altman showed a steady, table-setting profile: .253/.351/.315 with 37 hits, 20 walks, 17 runs, and 2 stolen bases across 49 games. His differentiator is plate discipline — he has consistently drawn more walks than strikeouts, and in 2024 he posted a .402 OBP with just 10 strikeouts in 31 games, a strong sign of feel and strike-zone control. He looks like a contact-oriented, versatile infield bat who can help a team by keeping innings alive rather than trying to be a loud tools monster.
