tough-minded Michigan catcher with upside, but 2026 role was limited
In the 2026 season, Brock Leitgeb was a depth catcher for Michigan, appearing in 10 games with 8 at-bats and no hits, after a freshman 2024 season that included 24 starts and 34 appearances behind the plate. He’s built like a true backstop at 6-foot, 197 pounds and has game-calling, receiving and durability value, but his college impact has been interrupted by injury and a transfer move to Loyola Marymount. If you want a catcher with experience, edge and defensive-minded upside, he fits; if you need an immediate offensive producer, the bat has not shown it yet.
