Tarleton State infielder Mikaila Gilliland brings speed, versatility, and game-changing pinch-run value
Gilliland stands out as a quick, high-impact utility piece for Tarleton State, with recent 2026 box scores showing she’s being used as a pinch runner and has already turned that role into runs and a steal. Her profile also points to strong pedigree—multiple first-team all-district honors and a PGF All-American nomination—and her earlier high school numbers showed elite contact ability and offensive efficiency. She looks like a fit for teams that value energy, baserunning pressure, and a player who can change the feel of an inning without needing the ball in her hands every pitch.
