Joe Perri brings a grinder’s profile to Albany behind a strong bat and catcher pedigree
Joe Perri enters Albany in 2026 as a freshman catcher with a legit offensive résumé and a high-motor background: at Comsewogue, he was a five-year varsity catcher/third baseman, a three-time captain, and the Suffolk County Catcher of the Year in 2025 after setting a school record with a .550 batting average. In college action for Albany in 2026, he’s already shown he can contribute in pressure spots, including his first career RBI in a win over Siena and a two-hit game against Maine, making him a useful right-now bat with a tough, team-first edge.
