Van Coughlin gives Holy Cross a steady bat and a real catcher’s backbone
In the 2026 season, Van Coughlin has been a productive, dependable junior catcher for Holy Cross, hitting .244 with 29 hits, 4 home runs, 29 RBI and a .412 on-base percentage while handling 122 chances in the field cleanly with a 1.000 fielding percentage. He’s more than the box score: he’s shown clutch juice in big moments, including a homer in the 2026 postseason run, and the kind of game-management value coaches love behind the plate. If you want a catcher who brings steady contact, pop, and reliability, he’s a strong fit.
