Seth Fontenot brings catch-and-hit upside with proven pop
In the 2026 season, Seth Fontenot has shown real two-way value for McNeese at catcher, with a strong defensive profile and a bat that has flashed power in conference play. The most compelling differentiator is his 2025 breakthrough: he hit .375 with a .487 on-base percentage and .563 slugging in limited action, then handled catcher duties with a 1.000 fielding percentage. He looks like a tough, energetic backstop with offensive upside, though his 2026 bat has been quieter (.174 average), so he fits best for a team that values defense, grit, and growth potential.
