Canisius freshman catcher Talia Yermian brings steady contact, pop, and run production
In the 2026 season, Talia Yermian quickly established herself as a reliable everyday catcher for Canisius, hitting .259 with 4 doubles, 1 home run, 16 RBI, and a perfect 8-for-8 on stolen-base attempts while making 23 starts in 41 games. She stands out for efficient at-bats, clutch run production, and surprising mobility for a catcher; she also showed defensive value by throwing out 2 runners. For a freshman, that’s a strong “plug-and-play” profile — competitive, adaptable, and already producing in pressure spots.
