Carly Raven brings Cal a versatile bat with real pop and veteran steadiness
Carly Raven is a 2026 senior for California who plays infield/outfield, giving the Bears lineup and defensive flexibility with a 5-foot-11 frame and a proven offensive track record. In the 2026 season, she hit .317 with 3 home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs, and a .488 on-base percentage across 23 games, and she delivered a two-run homer in Cal’s February win over Fresno State[1][5][11]. Her appeal goes beyond the box score: she’s been praised for steady offensive production, carries strong academic and leadership credentials, and fits as a mature, high-contact, gap-to-power piece who can help a team in multiple spots[3][9].
