Hogan Garner brings a high-upside, defense-first catcher profile to Charleston
In the 2025 season, Hogan Garner appeared in 13 games and made two starts for Charleston, and his background still pops: he was ranked No. 136 among catchers nationally by Perfect Game and No. 2 at the position in South Carolina coming out of high school. He’s a hometown returner from James Island Charter with a strong baseball pedigree, but his college track record shows he’s still fighting for consistent at-bats. If you want a catcher with upside, local swagger, and a developmental ceiling, he’s a name worth watching.
