Jacob Stallings is an American professional baseball catcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2016.

Kevin Stallings, Jacob Stallings’s father, has held the position of head basketball coach at three different universities: Illinois State University, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
It was the same year, 2016, that Jacob was called up to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates for the first time. His father took over as head coach of the Pitt Panthers in that same year.
Stallings was brought up after injuries ravaged the catching corps, putting starter Francisco Cervelli, backup Chris Stewart, and catching prospect Elias Diaz on the disabled list. Stallings joined Erik Kratz, who had been acquired in the middle of the season, as the catchers for the Pirates.
When he delivered a key hit for the Pirates in the 11th inning of their game against the Washington Nationals on September 23, he was the last man remaining on the Pirates’ bench. The contest was against the Nationals.
When Yusmeiro Petit was brought in to bat for Wade LeBlanc with two outs, the Bucs had already loaded the bases against him, but he still managed to win the game for his team by grounding a pitch into left field.
