North Alabama’s defensive-minded catcher with captain’s juice
Charlie Cochran enters 2026 as a right-handed catching option for North Alabama and, in the 2026 season, has appeared in five games with four starts behind the plate[1]. His value starts with the glove: he posted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in 2026 while handling 29 putouts and 1 assist, and he’s also shown the steadiness coaches love in a captain[2][4]. Offensively, the bat has been quieter this season, but he’s a proven depth piece with prior flashes of pop, including a home run and three RBI in 2025[1].
