the Islanders’ steady, run-producing catcher with sneaky national value
In the 2026 season, Zoey Stewart has been a do-it-all spark for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi: she was cited with 9 RBIs, 17 walks, a team-best .788 OPS, and ranked 11th nationally in caught-stealing throws, a strong sign of impact on both sides of the ball. She also showed up in key moments with multi-hit games and extra-base pop, including a two-run homer in 2025. The big differentiator: she pairs catcher grit with patience, speed, and run production—exactly the kind of high-motor glue player who can quietly tilt games.
