Jayden Novak is La Salle’s do-it-all spark plug behind the plate
In the 2026 season, La Salle catcher Jayden Novak turned into a true middle-of-the-order difference-maker, finishing with 10 home runs, 40 RBIs, 35 hits, 51 starts, and 10 stolen bases while also flashing run-saving defense, including a key caught-stealing in a tight March win and a walk-off grand slam in May[1][2][3]. He brings catcher value with uncommon athleticism and clutch pop, which makes him more than just a glove-first backstop—he looks like a high-energy fit for teams that want toughness, production, and a little chaos in the best possible way[1][2].
