Noah Thein brings defensive value and match-up flexibility behind the plate for WSU
In the 2025 season, Noah Thein was a role catcher for Washington State, appearing in 19 games with 15 starts and contributing a .114 batting average, five hits, three RBI, three runs, a stolen base, and six hit-by-pitches.[1] Thein’s best fit is as a depth piece who can handle catcher duties and grind through at-bats, with the hit-by-pitch total suggesting a willingness to get on base any way he can.[1] He does not profile as a frontline offensive producer yet, but his value is in experience, versatility, and lineup toughness rather than loud stats.[1]
