Hamilton Heights senior Owen Robey is headed to Eureka, Ill., where he will continue his baseball career with the Eureka College Red Devils, an NCAA Division III program competing in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC). He is the son of Abby and Wade Robey.
A two-year varsity letterman, Robey, #10, contributed to the Huskies as a pitcher and infielder, earning a reputation for consistency, work ethic, and leadership.
Robey chose Eureka College for its strong occupational therapy program, which provides a clear pathway toward medical school. His long-term goal is to become an inpatient occupational therapist; a career he feels aligns with his strengths and desire to help others.
He credits his parents for their unwavering support and guidance throughout his baseball journey.
“I’m very thankful for my coaches and excited to play baseball in college,” Robey said, acknowledging the role they played in his growth as both a student and an athlete.
Outside of sports, Robey has worked at Sullivan’s Hardware and 10 West, experiences that helped him build responsibility and confidence.
“Owen is a joy to coach and has a high baseball IQ and understands the game as much as anyone,” Hamilton Heights Head Baseball Coach Adam Hughes said. “He mixes pitches well and stays ahead in counts. Those attributes will help at the next level.”
Hamilton Heights Athletic Director Kurt Ogden added, “We are extremely happy for Owen who has been passionate about baseball for a long time and worked very hard to improve his game. Eureka College is getting a solid player with a very high ceiling.”
