Mandy Lauth’s value is on-base pressure and run creation for Ball State
In the 2026 season, Mandy Lauth stood out as a disciplined, high-contact infielder who ranked second in the MAC and eighth nationally with 1.00 walks per game, while her eight walks helped her post a .593 on-base percentage and rank 37th nationally. She also brought veteran stability after playing through limited game volume earlier in her career, and Ball State repeatedly used her as a table-setter and clutch situational hitter. The quick read: if you want a smart, patient bat with strong strike-zone control and steady infield presence, she fits the bill.
