Matthew Cormier brings pop behind the plate for CSUN
In the 2026 season, Matthew Cormier flashed real two-way catcher value for Cal State Northridge, hitting .298 with a .614 slugging percentage, 5 home runs, and just 1 error in 102 chances behind the plate. He looked like a momentum bat: he homered in his first CSUN at-bat, added a pinch-hit two-run shot, and had multiple RBI outings in Big West play. The fit is intriguing if a team wants a catcher with middle-of-the-order thump, steady receiving, and a fearless, instant-impact vibe.
