Kate McGuire is Fordham’s elite glove with clutch-bat upside
In the 2026 season, Fordham senior shortstop Kate McGuire won Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year, started every game at shortstop, and posted a .971 fielding percentage with 87 assists, 78 putouts, and 15 doubles, the most in the A-10. She’s not just a vacuum at short either: she also hit .252 with 19 RBI and delivered a grand slam in the A-10 championship, showing real big-moment juice. If you want a dependable, high-IQ defender who can steady the left side and occasionally change a game with one swing, she’s your kind of player.
