Karlie Kasten brings contact, speed, and gap power to Mercyhurst’s outfield
In the 2026 season, Karlie Kasten hit .306 with 30 hits, 19 runs, 9 RBI, and 4 stolen bases for Mercyhurst, while also flashing extra-base pop with 3 doubles and 3 triples in 29 games[1][2]. She’s the kind of small-but-mighty leadoff-style outfielder who can manufacture offense, put pressure on defenses, and create value beyond the box score with her speed and bat-to-ball skills[1][2][4]. Mercyhurst’s notes also show she earned NEC Prime Performer recognition twice, a nice sign of steady production and consistency[1].
