Cole Katayama-Stall is emerging as a power-addition infielder with middle-of-the-order upside
Katayama-Stall has shown real offensive pop for Portland, hitting .255 in 2025 with 10 doubles, 9 home runs and a .503 slugging percentage, then opening 2026 by staying a threat for extra-base damage, including a two-homer game against Purdue. He looks like more than a stat line: the blend of run-producing power, contact ability and game-changing bursts suggests a player who can tilt a lineup when he’s locked in. For a team, the appeal is clear if you want an infielder with impact bat potential rather than just a glove-first profile.
