Maine’s senior catcher brings power, toughness, and a transfer-portal edge
In the 2026 season, Nolan DeAndrade is a senior catcher for Maine at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, with a right-handed bat and a grinder’s profile that fits the backstop well. His 2026 line shows a modest average, but he has already flashed pop with 1 home run, 4 doubles, 11 walks, and 12 strikeouts across limited at-bats, and his profile suggests real value beyond the box score: physical, versatile, and experienced after two years at Franklin Pierce. He looks like a fit for teams wanting catch-and-throw reliability, some right-handed power, and veteran presence rather than a pure star-stat producer.
