ROSEMONT, Ill. – A trio of impact players from the Indiana baseball program were selected to the 2026 All-Big Ten Baseball team on Tuesday (May 19) afternoon. The conference office unveiled the full postseason honors as the Big Ten Tournament begins this week at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.
Sophomore outfielder Hogan Denny, who was a true utility man for the Hoosiers, became the ninth First Team All-Big Ten selection under head coach Jeff Mercer. The Mooresville, Indiana native hit .357 across 51 starts with 18 doubles, 14 home runs and 44 RBIs. He finished in a tie for second in the conference in runs scored (63) during the regular season. He started games at five different positions and batted in each of the top four spots in the order.
Since 2019, Denny is the fourth different IU outfielder to earn first team honors. He joins Grant Richardson (2019), Devin Taylor (2023-25) and Korbyn Dickerson (2025) as impact outfielders for the Hoosiers. Denny started 33 games in the outfield, most commonly as the team's right fielder. He finished top 10 in the conference in batting average, runs scored and doubles.
Sophomore first baseman Jake Hanley made his second-straight appearance on the All-Big Ten Second Team as an at-large selection. The Ohio native was the only IU player to start all 54 games for the Hoosiers and finished with the team lead in RBIs (48) and walks (43). He hit .338 in his sophomore campaign with 71 hits, 56 runs scored and 14 home runs.
Hanley is the first IU player since at least 2005 to start every game of his freshman and sophomore seasons. He continued his strong defense with a .992 fielding percentage in over 380 chances. Hanley has produced back-to-back seasons of at least 70 hits and 14 home runs. He received enough votes to make the second team as an at-large pick.
Graduate student left-handed pitcher Tony Neubeck produced one of the best seasons as a Friday starter in recent memory for the IU program. He pitched in every series and finished the year with a 7-4 record and an ERA of 3.95. One of his best attributes was the command of multiple pitches. He recorded 75 strikeouts and walked just 27 batters on the whole season.
Neubeck was named a Big Ten Third Team starting pitcher after finishing tied for fifth in the conference in wins (7). He finished fifth in the conference in ERA among pitchers that started all 14 weekends of the season. It's the fourth-straight season that IU has had an All-Big Ten starting pitcher. Neubeck was also the team's Big Ten Sportsmanship award honoree.
