Marlie Giles is Alabama’s steady-handed, clutch-hitting senior catcher
In the 2026 season, Marlie Giles became a two-way separator for Alabama: a senior catcher with All-SEC and NFCA All-South Region recognition, a .379 average, 8 home runs, and 37 RBIs, plus a reputation for big-moment damage—she homered in each of her three career Women’s College World Series appearances. She’s valued for veteran leadership, defensive steadiness, and a calm, team-first presence that teammates and coaches can lean on when the lights get bright.
