Daryn Siegel is UCSB’s steady two-way backstop with postseason polish
In the 2026 season, Daryn Siegel has been a reliable senior catcher for UC Santa Barbara, appearing in 20 games and bringing veteran stability behind the plate. She’s known more for steadiness than flash: a career .964 fielding percentage, strong game management, and a high-pressure presence that helps pitchers stay composed. In 2023, she also showed offensive value with a .270 average and 24 RBI, plus All-Big West honorable mention. If you want a gritty, experienced catcher who quietly raises the floor, she’s absolutely worth a look.
