Mariah Niday brings catcher depth, clean defense, and a team-first Yale profile
Mariah Niday is a Yale catcher who looks like a reliable depth piece with defensive value: in 2025 she appeared in 12 games, started one, recorded her first-career hit against New Haven, drew walks, and finished with a 1.000 fielding percentage in Yale’s cumulative stats. She profiles as a low-ego, developmental player who can help a staff by handling the game, staying composed, and giving the Bulldogs flexibility behind the plate—more useful if you value steady defense, work ethic, and upside over immediate star-level production.
