Luke Bard is Houston Christian’s steady, high-contact senior catcher with pro-level polish
In the 2026 season, Bard hit .345 and led Houston Christian with 27 runs, 22 RBI and 10 doubles, while making at least 36 starts for a lineup that clearly trusted his bat and presence[1][2]. He also snapped up attention as a 19th-round MLB Draft pick by the Dodgers, which says plenty about his receiving, consistency and upside behind the plate[3][4]. The fit? If a team wants a mature, durable backstop who plays with dependable contact skill and quiet edge, Bard looks like a strong add.
