Lucas Manning is Wofford’s offense-packed catcher with legit middle-of-the-order pop
In the 2026 season, Manning has been a true tone-setter for Wofford from behind the plate and in the lineup, starting 38 of 43 games at catcher while hitting .321 with 42 hits, 10 doubles, 3 triples, 10 home runs, 29 RBI, and 9 stolen bases. He earned preseason All-SoCon recognition after a 2025 season in which he hit .343, and his profile stands out because he brings rare athleticism for a catcher, real extra-base damage, and enough speed to impact games beyond just throwing runners out. If you want a catcher who can punish mistakes and keep pressure on defenses, he’s a very attractive fit.
