Towson freshman catcher Sara Hopper brings value behind the plate and in the lineup
Sara Hopper entered Towson’s 2026 season as a freshman catcher, giving the Tigers a young backstop to develop while adding depth to the roster. The biggest appeal is her catcher profile: if she’s earning innings on a veteran-minded team, that usually means the staff trusts her game-calling, receiving, and composure under pressure. Her listed size is 5-foot-4, so the fit is less about pure power and more about defensive reliability, toughness, and growth potential. She looks like a high-upside piece for a program that values grinders, not just box-score noise.
