Caden Young gives Fordham a versatile, contact-first bat with catcher grit
In the 2026 season, Fordham’s Caden Young split time between catcher and the outfield, played in 39 games with 28 starts, and hit .260 with 9 runs, 7 doubles, 2 home runs, and 25 RBI—solid run production from a player who also shows defensive flexibility.[1] The stat sheet says he can help in multiple spots, but the bigger differentiator is that Fordham trusted him in meaningful roles all year, and his background as a catcher suggests toughness, game management, and a team-first profile that should travel well to any roster needing depth and competitive edge.[1]
