Jonathan Decker gives Lafayette a big-framed backstop with prep power and upside
Jonathan Decker enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 210-pound catcher for Lafayette, bringing a strong frame and a background that included a .417 senior batting average and all-league honors in high school. The big differentiator is upside: he projects as a physical, right-handed bat with catching value, while Lafayette’s current stats show limited early-season college production so far in 2026. He looks like more of a development play than a finished product, but the combination of size, experience, and two-sport toughness makes him an intriguing fit for teams that value defense, projection, and patience.
