Mason Acton is Bellarmine’s steady two-way offensive spark behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Bellarmine catcher Mason Acton has shown real lineup value with multi-hit, run-producing games, including a 3-for-5, 3-RBI opener against Middle Tennessee and a solo homer early in ASUN play. The differentiator: he’s more than a glove-first backstop — he brings contact, gap power, and situational hitting, plus the kind of competitive edge coaches love in a catcher. Recruiting note from Bellarmine’s media guide says he was rated No. 1 in Kentucky and No. 240 nationally by Perfect Game out of high school, so the talent was never subtle.
