STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Stony Brook baseball junior catcher Scott Gell has agreed to terms with the San Francisco Giants as an undrafted free agent.
Gell becomes the first Seawolf to sign as an undrafted free agent since Joe Meliors joined the Los Angeles Angels organization in 2010. He also joins teammate Micah Worley in beginning his professional career after Worley was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth round of the 2026 MLB Draft on Sunday.

A native of Connecticut, Gell was a key piece behind the plate for the Seawolves in 2026, making 38 starts across 44 appearances. He set career highs in nearly every offensive category, finishing the season with 25 runs scored, 40 hits, 10 doubles, three home runs, 35 RBI, a .303 batting average and a .377 on-base percentage.

Gell ranked fourth on the team in batting average, fifth in hits and second in both doubles and RBI. He recorded 11 multi-hit games and put together a 10-game hitting streak, one of five Seawolves to reach double figures in consecutive games with a hit. He also totaled nine multi-RBI games, second-most on the team, while throwing out 19 would-be basestealers behind the plate. In the classroom, Gell earned CSC Academic All-District honors.

Over his three-year career at Stony Brook, Gell appeared in 80 games with 56 starts. He finished with a .286 career batting average (59-for-206) to go along with six home runs, 49 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles and a .371 on-base percentage.
