Audree Mendoza brings steady contact, power upside, and rare lineup flexibility for Long Beach State
Mendoza’s 2026 Long Beach State season showed a useful blend of reliability and versatility: she started every game, hit .241 with 10 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs, and 28 RBI, and split time between catcher, the outfield, and designated player.[3][4] She is not just a stat-line player—her value is that she can catch, move around the diamond, and still produce extra-base impact, which makes her a practical fit for a program needing roster flexibility. Her earlier Penn State season (.250 with 9 RBI) suggests a solid collegiate bat with room to keep growing.[1][2][4]
