JJ Kennett is Baylor’s defense-first catcher with real RBI pop
In the 2025 season, JJ Kennett showed he can help a team in more than one way: he started 23 of 28 games at catcher, hit .243 with 21 RBI and two homers, and posted a .995 fielding percentage with just one error. His biggest differentiators are steadiness behind the plate, run production from a premium defensive position, and the fact that he looked comfortable quickly after transferring to Baylor. If you want a catcher who brings competent glove work, timely offense, and no-frills reliability, Kennett is a strong fit.
