Gabbie Stutes brings local pedigree, versatility, and contact-driven upside to Louisiana
In 2025, Stutes gave Louisiana useful depth and contact offense, hitting .243 with 17 hits and 10 RBI while appearing in 43 games and earning 23 starts, including a late-season stretch at second base.[4][2] A Lafayette native and St. Thomas More standout, she arrived with a strong high-school résumé (.516 batting average, .570 OBP in 2023-24) and the kind of multi-role flexibility that can help a roster absorb injuries and matchup changes.[3][1] She later said she has pitcher's experience and two years of eligibility remaining, which adds to her value as a potential utility piece.[5]
