Scott Gell’s bat-and-glove combo made him a pro-ready backstop for Stony Brook
In the 2026 season, Stony Brook catcher Scott Gell emerged as a steady two-way piece, hitting .303 with 25 runs, 40 hits, 10 doubles, 3 home runs and 35 RBI while starting 38 games and appearing in 44.[1][3] He also stood out defensively, with Stony Brook noting a career-high 19 runners thrown out stealing and a strong run-prevention profile behind the plate.[1][13] The big takeaway: he looks like a tough, durable catcher who can help a staff, control the running game, and contribute enough offense to matter—good fit if a team wants a gritty, polished backstop with a pro ceiling.[1][4]
