Ernie Echevarria is turning Penn’s lineup into a problem for Ivy pitching
In the 2026 season, Ernie Echevarria broke out as a first-team All-Ivy catcher for Penn, batting .270 overall with 7 doubles, 1 home run, 19 RBIs, and a .388 on-base percentage, while hitting .319 in Ivy League play with top-10 conference marks in runs scored and OBP. He gives real middle-of-the-lineup juice from a 6-foot-2, 215-pound right-handed bat, and the early reviews point to a catcher who brings both contact quality and run production. If a team wants a tough, offensive-minded backstop with upside, he’s a pretty tasty fit.
