Carter Jorissen brings defensive grit and sneaky-on-base value for Cal State Bakersfield
In the 2026 season, Carter Jorissen has given Cal State Bakersfield a steady catch-and-throw presence while posting a .254 average with a .333 on-base percentage over 28 games, and his offseason reputation fits the profile of a defense-first backstop who can also handle the bat a bit. He’s credited with throwing out 59 runners in 47 games at Palomar College before transferring, and a 2025 Northwoods League All-Star nod reinforces that he’s more than just a glove — he’s a competitive, high-motor catcher who can help control the run game and keep an offense moving.
