Hugh Pinkney is Tulane’s steady, on-base-minded two-way catcher with a real arm behind the plate
Pinkney has turned into a reliable everyday catcher for Tulane, batting .271 with a .394 on-base percentage, 24 RBIs, and 22 walks in 2025 while also throwing out nine runners trying to steal and posting a .997 fielding percentage. His value goes beyond the box score: he consistently reaches base, has shown clutch multi-hit and multi-RBI ability, and earned preseason All-Conference recognition entering 2026. He looks like a smart fit for teams that want a catcher who can handle the staff, control the running game, and provide disciplined, gap-to-gap offensive value.
