Gunnar Duncan is flashing real pop for Butler behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Butler catcher Gunnar Duncan has emerged as a legit run-producing threat, highlighted by a .600 week that earned BIG EAST Player of the Week honors and a five-RBI outburst against Milwaukee. He’s shown catch-and-throw value plus some real damage at the dish, with a 2026 line of .163 and an on-base boost from walks, but the bigger story is his timely power and poise in high-leverage spots. If you want a competitive, offense-capable catcher with upside, Duncan is worth a hard look.
