Carter Freeland brings steady two-way value and a clean glove behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Carter Freeland has shown reliable contact ability and defensive dependability for New Orleans, hitting .300 with a .664 OPS in team stats while posting a 1.000 fielding percentage and handling catcher duties cleanly. The Privateers also described him as a newcomer catcher who hit .321 last season, which hints at a bat that can play while he settles into the program. What makes him interesting: he looks like a steady, low-drama backstop who can help a staff, not just a box-score bat.
