Bennett Shealor gives Gardner-Webb a power-catching spark with timely pop
In the 2026 season, Bennett Shealor has been a useful run producer for Gardner-Webb, flashing extra-base power and clutch contact from behind the plate, including multiple games with RBI and a home run in conference play[1][5][10]. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-handed catcher brings a strong build, offensive upside, and enough versatility to play in pressure spots, with his recent production suggesting he can change a game with one swing[4][10][12]. For a team needing a physical, offense-first catcher who can handle big moments, he looks like a compelling fit.
