WIN or bust > D1 or bust.

2026 Huskies final catching stats:

🎯CS%: 23.94% (8.5% higher than 2025)

🎯PB: 7 (as compared to 17 in 2025)

🎯Wild pitches: 28 (as compared to 62 in 2025) attributing to block efficiency.

🎯 Total block efficiency (pitch in the dirt blocked, preventing baserunner from advancing): 95.19%

The work paid off. But Huskies are always hungry for more!

@KenSpang @Con_Kilgarriff And once it’s finally down your 5’7” second baseman has to burrow under it with a tire to elevate the hole that formed the last time you tried to put it down in hurricane force winds

Machine blocks with towel as added visual distraction. Yeah, it was cold, but we still got the job done.

Machine blocks can become unproductive very quickly if there is no challenge. ALWAYS add a visual, physical, or mental challenge (this is not just about machine blocks)

Catchers‼️ Let’s get to know baseball’s smoothest hands behind the dish (as ranked by baseball savant).

Each MLB organization and catcher on this list understands that framing is now a proven and measurable skill.
