UCLA C Cashel Duggar has one of the highest floors in the draft and has the upside to be a really solid MLB backstop. He is one of it not the best defensive catchers in the draft doing everything really well. He averaged a 1.86 pop time in game and held runners to a 62% SB clip against him which falls to 58% at 2B. He also moves very well behind the plate as a blocker and receiver. While the defense is the big highlight, Duggar has shown a very mature approach at the plate with a 17% K% compared to 14% BB% in 2026. He kept the Whiff and Chase rates under 20% as well. He finished the year slashing just .250/.378/.380. However the mature approach on top of the great frame at 6'2 200 pounds and being left handed hitter makes a lot of scouts love the upside. His defense is already near MLB ready and if he can become just a below average MLB hitter he will be a long term backup backstop. If the bat progresses even a little bit he has the upside to be a top 10-15 catcher in baseball.

If TOR misses on Bichette, Andres Gimenez is the guy at SS. Insane defensively with 11 OAA last year. The bat struggles but the expected stats like him more, .210 BA-.252 xBA, .313 SLG-.358 xSLG, .269 wOBA-.307 xwOBA. Keeps the K% down, can be a decent 9 hole with elite defense
