Kate McGuire is Fordham’s glove-first spark plug with extra-base pop
In the 2026 season, Kate McGuire emerged as one of the Atlantic 10’s best two-way infielders, winning A-10 Defensive Player of the Year while leading the conference in doubles and hitting .252 with 15 doubles and 19 RBI. She’s a steady, high-motor shortstop who plays every day, flashes reliable range and arm strength, and can still change a game at the plate—just ask Loyola Chicago after her grand slam in the A-10 tournament. If your team wants a tough, versatile infielder who brings grit, contact skills, and playoff-level edge, she’s a fit.
