Natalie McCliman brings veteran catching, leadership, and defensive value to USD
In the 2026 season, Natalie McCliman has been a senior catcher for San Diego, appearing in 10 games with six starts and three hits plus a run scored, while also serving as USD’s SAAC vice president and earning the 2026 Gender Equity in Action Award. Her value goes beyond the box score: she was noted early in her career for strong catching and a reliable arm, and she’s the type of high-accountability teammate who adds dugout leadership, defensive stability, and program-first energy. If a team wants toughness, maturity, and behind-the-plate steadiness, she fits.
