Joseph Durso gives LIU a loud bat and steady mitt behind the plate
In the 2026 season, LIU catcher Joseph Durso has been a real two-way anchor: he’s hit around .305 with a 1.026 OPS and has supplied power, including a memorable 2-for-5, 5-RBI game with a homer and double against FDU, while also handling heavy defensive work with a .997 fielding percentage in 296 chances. He looks like the kind of catcher who brings toughness, production, and lineup juice—valuable if you want a right-handed bat that can punish mistakes and a backstop who can handle the everyday grind.
