Lili Gonzalez gives Drake elite infield defense with all-conference recognition
Gonzalez emerged in 2026 as one of Drake’s most valuable two-way pieces, earning MVC All-Defensive Team honors after leading the Bulldogs and the conference with 136 assists, while also posting a .967 fielding percentage and contributing eight home runs and 31 RBI. Her value goes beyond the box score: she plays with high-rep reliability at shortstop, turns double plays, and brings true utility flexibility. If you want a defense-first infielder who can also add timely pop, she looks like a strong fit.
