BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – As one of the best all-around players in the area, sophomore outfielder Hogan Denny was named to the ABCA Midwest All-Region Second Team on Tuesday (June 9) afternoon. The native Hoosier started 51 games this year and led the program with 74 base knocks in his second year of college baseball.
Denny burst onto the scene in 2026 as one of the best bats in the entire conference. He started a game at five different positions, the first IU player since at least 2005 to accomplish the feat. He hit .357 on the campaign with 74 hits, 63 runs, 18 doubles, 14 home runs and 44 RBIs. He played in all but three games – missing those due to an injury suffered in early April. He maintained a fielding percentage of .989 in over 185 attempts.
This is the 15th ABCA All-Region honor for an IU player since head coach Jeff Mercer took over the program in 2019. He's the fourth different outfielder (Devin Taylor, Korbyn Dickerson and Grant Richardson) honored in that same span. Denny was also named a First Team All-Big Ten selection following his stellar sophomore campaign.
The Mooresville, Indiana native will spend his summer in the Cape Cod League playing for the Cotuit Kettleers. He is joined out east by teammates Jake Hanley, Caleb Koskie and Jackson Yarberry. Denny will head into his junior campaign next spring with 114 career hits, 96 career runs scored and 20 career home runs.
