  center: true,
  items: 3,
  loop: false,
  margin: 10,
});

$('.owl-carousel').on("dragged.owl.carousel", function(e) {
  console.log(e);
  if (e.itemClass === 'center') {
    alert('it is center one!');
  }
});

I don't think owl carousel provide such option to get center item in event result. you can do this littly tricky like this, just get e.item.index it is current active item, then +1 to get centered item. check example below:

$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
  center: true,
  items: 3,
  loop: false,
  margin: 10,
});

$('.owl-carousel').on("dragged.owl.carousel", function(e) {
  console.log('center item is:'+ (e.item.index + 1));
});

.item {
  border: 1px solid;
  text-align: center;
}

.owl-item.active.center {
  background: gray;
}
