Jamar Whitehead is a redshirt sophomore catcher with sneaky pop and a steady bat for Coppin State
In the 2026 season, Whitehead has appeared in six games and gone 1-for-5 (.200) with a double and a run scored, while Coppin State’s roster lists him as a switch-hitting catcher from Baltimore’s Woodlawn HS. He has already shown real upside — his first collegiate hit was a home run in 2025, and he also homered and hit a grand slam during that season — which hints at power that can change a game quickly. For a team, the appeal is upside, athleticism, and a catcher who can provide occasional run-producing punch rather than just glove-only depth.
