Jack Kleveno is Utah’s little-big clutch catcher: steady bat, sneaky pop, and a knack for pressure moments
In the 2026 season, Utah catcher Jack Kleveno hit .288 with 15 hits, 13 RBI, 7 walks, and a .439 OBP across 30 games and 19 starts, giving the Utes a compact, contact-first bat with real situational value. He’s been especially noticeable for timely damage — including a three-run homer against No. 18 Arizona State and multiple two-RBI games — while also handling catcher duties with a strong .982 fielding percentage. The best fit? A team that wants toughness, strike-zone feel, and a gritty, low-drama competitor who can punch above his size.
