Army’s veteran catcher Max McGlone is a gritty, timely bat with backstop value
In the 2026 season, Max McGlone gives Army a senior catcher who can come off the bench and change a game—he hit .240 with a home run, showed pinch-hit pop, drew walks, and even threw out a runner early in the year. He’s the kind of player coaches trust for toughness, defensive readiness, and clutch situational at-bats, not just raw numbers. McGlone’s low-drama, high-effort profile fits a team that values reliability behind the plate and competitive edge in big moments.
