Jonathan Fitz is Xavier’s steady, power-capable backstop with a big on-base footprint
In the 2026 season, Xavier catcher Jonathan Fitz has been one of the Musketeers’ most reliable everyday pieces, starting 50 of 53 games and hitting .289 with 54 hits, 11 doubles, 5 homers, 34 RBI, and 32 walks. He stands out for a disciplined approach, real gap power, and the ability to get on base at a .428 clip, which helps explain why he’s valuable beyond the box score. As a junior, he looks like a tough, competitive fit for a team that wants a veteran catcher who can handle the staff and contribute in the middle of the lineup.
