Breakout VCU catcher with power, polish, and freshman-year impact
Jacob Lee is a high-upside catcher whose current value comes from rare freshman-year production and a polished, all-around offensive profile; in 2025 he set VCU’s freshman home run record with 17 homers, drove in 65 runs, and started all 53 games, then entered 2026 ranked No. 7 among D1Baseball’s preseason catchers. He stands out for middle-of-the-order power, consistency, and durability, plus enough defensive reliability to stay behind the plate every day—making him the kind of player a program can build around if it wants impact now, not just projection.
