Peyton Arnold brings real two-way upside behind the plate for Bellarmine
Arnold is a **homegrown Louisville catcher** who already showed she can contribute with both the bat and the glove for Bellarmine, batting .171 in 2026 while also handling catching duties and throwing out 13 runners as a freshman in 2025. Her value is bigger than the raw average: she owns serious power pedigree from Mercy Academy’s career home run record and was an ASUN Honor Roll pick, signaling a player with competitive edge, upside, and academic discipline. She looks like a steady, high-motor fit for teams that want defense, leadership, and untapped offensive growth.[1][2][9]
