Nolan Stoll is Stanford’s rising freshman catcher with real gap power
In the 2026 season, Stanford freshman catcher Nolan Stoll flashed immediate offensive upside, appearing in 27 games and batting .283 with 10 runs, four doubles, one home run and five RBIs; he also delivered his first career home run and a two-RBI double in key wins, showing he can handle pressure moments. At 6-foot-4 with a right-handed bat, he brings a projectable frame, steady catchers’ profile, and enough pop to matter—especially for teams wanting a young backstop with upside, not just a glove-first placeholder.
