Will Howard is giving Navy a steady left-handed spark at catcher
In the 2026 season, Navy catcher Will Howard has shown early offensive juice and a knack for coming through in spots, including a two-hit, three-RBI breakout against Coppin State and strong home production (.310 at home with a .487 on-base clip). He profiles as a scrappy, contact-oriented rookie who can help lengthen an order, work at-bats, and handle the catching grind; that mix makes him interesting for a team that values toughness, steady defense, and upside over flashy power.
