Age at Draft: 21.0
Caron is a 6-foot-, 215-pound catcher who has made strides as a hitter in each of his three seasons with Nebraska, culminating in a career-year in 2024 where he slashed .314/.391/.551 with 11 home runs, 14 doubles, an 18.7% strikeout rate and 8.5% walk rate. He’s filled out with lots of strength and broad shoulders and utilizes a leg kick and soft hand press in his load. Caron is a low-ball hitter who did a nice job hitting for impact to the opposite field right-center gap in 2024, though he can struggle to handle velocity at the top of the zone. Defensively, Caron receives the ball well and folds up nicely behind the plate with actions that suggest average or better defensive ability and a quick release on his throws that result in plenty of sub 2.0-second pop times.
