Quatrani’s 2026 breakout made Notre Dame’s catcher a draft-day steal
In the 2026 season, Mark Quatrani turned into a two-way difference-maker for Notre Dame, hitting .376 with 15 home runs, 66 RBI, 80 hits and a 1.100 OPS while also throwing out 15 runners attempting to steal. He earned Second Team All-ACC honors, was a Buster Posey Collegiate Catcher of the Year semifinalist, and stacked up national top-50 rates in batting average, hits, RBI and RBI per game. The best part: the production came with real catcher value, not just loud bat stats—exactly the kind of competitive, run-creating backstop a good team wants behind the plate.
