Griffin Pomper is Jacksonville’s freshman catcher with real upside and steady defensive value
In the 2026 season, Griffin Pomper has hit .219 with 14 hits, 10 RBI, and 12 runs for Jacksonville, while also flashing catcher value with a clean throwing arm and a caught-stealing highlight in game action. The bigger story is the profile: a 6-foot, 195-pound freshman who comes in with strong prep production and looks like a catcher who can handle the dirty work, support the staff, and grow into more offense. If you want a young backstop with tools, toughness, and upside, Pomper is worth a serious look.
