Easton Culp is a steady, left-leaning value add behind the plate for Lamar
In the 2026 season, Easton Culp has been a useful two-way piece for Lamar at catcher, combining solid bat-to-ball skills with run production and enough defensive trust to stay in the lineup; the Cardinals’ official stats list him at .222 batting average with a .639 OPS, while team notes and game logs show he has been used in key spots and chipped in multiple hits and RBI in 2026. He looks like a fit for a team that values catch-and-throw competence, roster versatility, and a player who can contribute without needing the offense to run through him.
