Conner Stewart brings veteran punch and steady hands behind the plate for Long Beach State
In the 2026 season, Long Beach State catcher Conner Stewart has been a tough, experienced sixth-year presence, hitting .236 with a .654 OPS across 31 games, while also adding 2 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 21 runs scored[2]. The bigger selling point is his profile: a 6-foot-3, 225-pound backstop who combines veteran savvy with reliable defense and game-management chops, including a .997 fielding percentage and 12 runners caught stealing in 2025[1][3]. He fits best on a team that values stability, physicality, and a catcher who can handle the staff without getting rattled.
