Eva Garofalo brings nationally ranked catching pedigree and depth to Rutgers
Eva Garofalo enters Rutgers in the 2026 season as a sophomore catcher with a reputation that already outpaces her college sample: she was ranked No. 20 nationally and No. 9 among catchers by Line Drive Media, and Rutgers coach Kristen Butler praised her “strength behind the plate” and versatility. In the 2026 season, she has appeared mostly in a depth role, including pinch-running and spot duty, so the headline is projection, not gaudy stat lines. If your team values defensive upside, roster flexibility, and a high-ceiling competitor, she’s a sneaky-good fit.
