Mason Wray is giving Northwestern State a steady, high-character catcher with pop
In the 2026 season, Mason Wray has been a useful, glove-first catcher for Northwestern State who also flashed offensive upside, including a first career home run and a .250 batting line in team cumulative stats. He was described by NSU coach Bobby Barbier as a “high-character” player with a “well-rounded game defensively and with a bat in his hand,” which fits a catcher who can compete for immediate innings and lead a clubhouse. For a team, that combo of reliability, leadership, and sneaky damage is exactly the kind of profile worth paying attention to.
