Elite glove, vocal leader: T.J. Schuyler anchors Indiana behind the plate
Schuyler is a defense-first catcher who Indiana trusted for 29 starts in 2025 and 24 more in 2026, and he finished his Indiana career with a .992 fielding percentage, only three errors in more than 460 chances, and 19 runners thrown out. In 2026, he was widely described as one of the best defensive catchers in the nation and a vocal locker-room leader. Offensively, he’s more of a grinder than a slugger, so the fit is best for a team that values pitch handling, run control, and steady, winning baseball.
