Gabe Juarez brings real pop and steady contact to ETSU’s lineup
In the 2026 season, ETSU catcher Gabe Juarez hit .255 with 1 home run, 8 RBI, and a .377 OBP over 23 games, showing a contact-first approach with enough strength to punish mistakes. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound senior has delivered multiple multi-hit games and flashed timely production, including a homer against Bradley and a pair of RBIs vs. UNC Asheville. What makes him interesting isn’t just the bat: he’s a right-handed, physical catcher who gives a lineup some thump while providing experience and a dependable everyday presence behind the plate.
