Katy Ramage brings pop, speed, and steady glove play for NIU
In the 2026 season, Katy Ramage emerged as a highly productive outfielder for Northern Illinois, batting .350 with 43 hits, 28 runs, 8 doubles, 4 triples, 4 home runs, 6 stolen bases, and a .998 OPS while starting 41 of 43 games[1][3]. She also added value defensively with 74 putouts, 4 assists, and reliable outfield coverage[1]. The big takeaway: she’s a balanced top-of-order threat who can hit for average and extra bases, run a little, and defend her position well—exactly the kind of player coaches love when they want a spark with substance[1][6][15].
