Jack Natili’s bat made him a Bearcats centerpiece and a pro-level draft pick
In the 2026 season, Cincinnati catcher Jack Natili emerged as one of the Big 12’s most dangerous power bats, earning preseason All-American honors, Big 12 preseason recognition, and a third-round MLB Draft selection by the Rockies. His calling card is impact: he paired elite on-base skills in 2025 (.451 OBP, best among Big 12 catchers) with a 2026 breakout that included 19 homers, 65 RBI, and top-10 school marks in several single-season categories. If you want a catcher who changes games with power, patience, and big-moment heat, Natili checks every box.
