Avery Hodge gives LSU a steady bat, slippery speed, and dependable left-side defense
In the 2026 season, Avery Hodge was a versatile infield anchor for LSU, starting 46 games and appearing in 53 while mostly playing third base; she hit .209 with 23 runs, 13 RBI, 17 walks, and eight double plays turned on defense. What makes her valuable goes beyond the line: she brings SEC-tested experience, strong glove work, smart baserunning, and a gritty, team-first profile that coaches love in a pressure lineup. If your team needs a reliable, high-intensity infielder who can move around the diamond and keep the game clean, she’s a fit.
