Jake Paulick is a league-winning bat at catcher for Northern Kentucky
Paulick is coming off a 2026 breakout that made him the Horizon League Player of the Year, powered by elite on-base skill, loud power, and run production; he led the league in OPS, OBP, SLG, walks, and runs while hitting .341 with 14 homers and 51 RBI, and he also gives value behind the plate with a .986 fielding percentage and solid control of the running game. He looks like a middle-of-the-order anchor who brings disciplined plate appearances, game-changing pop, and proven conference-level production.
