Ava Tingey brings speed, energy, and reliable pinch-running value for Fresno State
Ava Tingey has carved out a clear role for Fresno State as a speed-first outfielder and one of the Bulldogs’ primary pinch runners, appearing in 42 games in 2024 and scoring 18 runs with five stolen bases[1]. In 2025, she continued to provide situational value, playing in 45 games and scoring 15 runs with four steals[2]. What makes her useful is not just the stat line but the fit: she adds late-game pressure on the bases, brings intensity, and gives a coaching staff a specialist who can change innings without needing the ball in her hands.
