Blaise Priester brings real pop to the plate for SE Louisiana
In the 2026 season, SE Louisiana catcher Blaise Priester has emerged as a legitimate middle-order threat, hitting .233 with 10 home runs, 33 runs, 28 RBIs, a .491 slugging percentage and .368 on-base rate over 52 games/49 starts. He’s not just a bat-only backstop either: the right-handed catcher gives the Lions a steady, physical presence behind the plate and enough game-changing power to flip a game with one swing. The upside is obvious for any team needing offensive punch from catcher, though the profile still looks more power-driven than pure hit-tool polished.
