Lehigh’s steady, power-hitting backstop with academic-star polish
Walewander has emerged as one of Lehigh’s most valuable two-way anchors, pairing a strong senior season in 2026 with a team-high 38 RBIs and 10 home runs, while also earning second-team All-Patriot League honors and Academic All-Patriot League recognition. He brings real catcher value beyond the box score: Lehigh has trusted him as the primary backstop, and he’s shown pop, clutch production, and reliable defense. If you want a catcher who can handle the staff, add some thump, and keep the room together academically and competitively, he checks a lot of boxes.
