Auburn’s freshman bat turned 2026 preseason centerpiece
AnnaLea Adams enters 2026 as one of Auburn softball’s most dangerous young hitters, coming off a freshman season in 2025 where she hit .390 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, and a team-best .658 slugging percentage. She earned First Team All-SEC honors, was named a D1Softball Freshman All-American, and was ranked No. 83 in D1Softball’s preseason player rankings for 2026. What makes her stand out is the combo: polished contact, real pop, and the poise to handle pressure—plus she already proved she can anchor first base and the lineup.
