Lucas Pringle keeps climbing as Charleston Southern’s steady, dangerous backstop
In the 2026 season, Charleston Southern catcher Lucas Pringle has been a high-contact, high-OBP glue guy with real pop, earning Honorable Mention All-Conference and a Buster Posey National Catcher of the Week nod. He’s hit around .293 with a .443 on-base percentage, scored 41 runs, driven in 31, and thrown out 10 runners, while also drawing plenty of walks and hit-by-pitches—classic signs of a grinder who wins at-bats and wears pitchers down. The differentiator: he blends patience, toughness, and dependable defense into a catcher who can quietly swing a game.
