Olivia Hood is becoming Saint Francis’ steady freshman spark in the infield
In the 2026 season, Olivia Hood emerged as an immediate impact bat for Saint Francis, finishing with a .304 average, 41 hits, 2 home runs, 21 RBIs and three NEC Rookie of the Week honors, plus a spot on the NEC All-Rookie Team[1][2]. What makes her interesting isn’t just the box score: she’s a contact-first infielder who also flashes timely power, extra-base pop and clutch production, like a multi-hit, multi-RBI weekend that helped drive her rookie award[1][3].
