What baseball position did Tom Brady play in high school?

Tom Brady played catcher in high school baseball.

At Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, California, Brady was a left-handed-hitting catcher with notable power and a strong throwing arm. He also played football and basketball, but his baseball ability was good enough to attract professional scouting attention.

The Montreal Expos selected Brady in the 18th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft. Scouts viewed him as a legitimate catching prospect, and the organization reportedly considered offering him substantially more money than a typical late-round pick. Brady instead chose football and enrolled at the University of Michigan.

Some accounts note that he played first base earlier in high school before moving behind the plate. That detail explains occasional confusion, but catcher is the standard answer for the position associated with Brady’s high-school baseball career and his MLB draft selection.
