Emma Simon gives Georgia Tech a steady, two-way shortstop with freshman poise
In 2025, Emma Simon started all 51 games as a freshman for Georgia Tech, showing immediate trust from the coaching staff and a reliable glove at shortstop. She hit .216 with 22 hits, 13 runs, and 7 RBI, but her real value is in her defensive consistency and high-volume workload: 71 putouts and 90 assists on the season. A decorated high-school defender and all-state infielder, Simon profiles as a low-drama, high-IQ player who can stabilize the infield and fit a team that values dependability, structure, and upside over flash.[1][3]
