Caroline O’Brien is the kind of glue-piece utility bat Notre Dame loves
In the 2026 season, Caroline O’Brien gave Notre Dame real two-way roster value as a sophomore, appearing in 51 games with 50 starts while splitting time between second and third base and producing 45 hits, 8 doubles, 3 triples, 1 home run, 26 runs, 15 RBI, and 12 steals. She’s a contact-first, disruptive athlete who can move around the diamond, and she has already shown big-game pop, including her first career homer at Georgia Tech and a near-cycle performance. If your team wants versatility, speed, and a confident competitor, she fits the bill.
