Ty DePerno is Navy’s breakout catcher with real on-base juice and clutch freshman-to-sophomore momentum
In the 2025 season, Ty DePerno broke out for Navy by leading the team with a .307 batting average and .439 on-base percentage, while also pacing the Mids in RBI and walks and earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors.[1][2] He’s more than a box-score catcher: he handled 35 starts behind the plate, hit in the middle of the order, and drew preseason all-league recognition for 2026, which says coaches trust his bat, his defense, and his presence.[1][5] If your team wants a catcher who brings contact, discipline, and a little rookie-of-the-year swagger, DePerno fits the bill nicely.[1][2][5]
