Samantha Bolding is a middle-of-the-order bat with real pop for Toledo
Bolding has been one of Toledo’s most dangerous offensive threats in the 2026 season, hitting .340 with a 1.020 OPS, 3 home runs and 9 RBIs in 16 games, while showing a disciplined approach with 8 walks and only 11 strikeouts. She was MAC Freshman of the Year in 2025 and already has a track record of impact power, including 13 home runs and a league-leading 11 conference homers as a freshman. The differentiator is her game-changing power from the outfield plus a strong academic profile, making her a high-upside, high-character fit for a program that wants production and consistency.[1][2][10]
