Carlos Narváez Struggles Offensively as Orioles Search for Catching Help

Carlos Narváez struggled mightily at the plate during his 33-game stint with the Baltimore Orioles in 2026, hitting .139/.244/.167 with just one extra-base hit and zero RBI. Despite his severe offensive slump, the 28-year-old catcher excelled defensively, posting five fielding runs and 13 blocks above average. With minor league options remaining, Narváez offers organizational depth, but Baltimore is expected to pursue a catcher with higher offensive upside this offseason.
