2026 review
Brian Navarreto struggled to make contact all year, striking out 34.4% of the time over 61 PA while walking just 3.3% over the same span and hitting .135 in 52 AB with 1 HR. MIA selected his contract Jun 21 and he played from Jun 24 through Sep 27 across 32 games and 18 starts, his workload climbing from 6 PA in Jun to a peak of 31 PA in Aug before dropping to 12 PA in Sep. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 1350th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 82nd of 103 catchers. The TDK LABS card tracked him as a minimal-profile depth piece through the season, calling him depth behind the primary catcher in late Jun, a backup with an extremely limited role by early Sep, and by Sep 27 a fringe backup with a developing platoon split favoring left-handed opponents.
