Olivia Buettner brings on-base grit and extra-base pop to Baylor’s infield
In the 2026 season, Baylor sophomore Olivia Buettner emerged as a tough-to-miss table-setter, hitting .208 with a .281 on-base percentage while piling up 16 extra-base hits, including seven doubles, and leading the team with seven hit-by-pitches[1][7]. She’s already shown real bat-to-ball toughness and a knack for getting on base the hard way, plus enough gap power to punish mistakes—most notably a two-double, career-high outing against Utah[9]. The fit? A competitive, high-motor infielder with sneaky pop and resilience, built for a lineup that values nuisance at-bats and pressure on defenses[1][3].
