Stephen Landaz brings extra-base pop and grinder toughness behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Mississippi Valley State catcher Stephen Landaz has shown timely power and run production, including a 1-for-2, 3-RBI game with a double against Southern and a pinch-hit double at Jacksonville State. He profiles as a physical, right-handed catcher with real catch-and-throw tools from his prep profile, and his value is as much about toughness as numbers: he’s been hit by pitches, takes walks, and keeps finding ways to impact games. If your team wants a rugged, offense-capable backstop who can handle contact and chip in extra-base hits, he’s worth a look.
