Skylinn Pogue is a contact-first catcher giving Ball State a steady bat and run-producing punch
Pogue has been one of Ball State’s most efficient early-season bats in 2026, hitting .467 with a .500 on-base percentage across her first five games, and she already delivered a three-RBI game against Memphis and a five-hit, three-RBI doubleheader at Central Michigan.[2][3][4] Her value goes beyond the box score: she’s a proven catcher with strong receiving and throw-down skills from her Iowa tenure, where she posted a .979 fielding percentage in 2024 and threw out 14 of 32 runners, and she adds veteran poise, intensity, and lineup flexibility at C/INF.[1][8][17]
