Joel Tracy is a 2026 C with a strong, 5-foot-11, 190-pound build and one of the top defensive skillsets in the class. A high-motor receiver with advanced receiving instincts, Tracy pairs his 81 mph arm with efficient footwork and fast exchange, flashing pop times as low as 1.98. At the plate, the right-handed hitter uses a short, rotational swing that works level through the zone with bat strength to do damage, peaking at 94 mph exit velocity. He’s a 7.21 runner and profiles as a defense-first backstop with enough impact at the plate to round out the profile.
