Lauren Brister is Georgia State’s steady power-speed utility bat
In the 2026 season, Lauren Brister gave Georgia State a high-contact, impact bat from a versatile utility role, hitting .315 with 6 home runs, 28 RBIs, 20 runs scored, and 6 stolen bases in 49 games. She also brought real defensive value with a .981 fielding percentage and 149 putouts, which makes her more than just a middle-order threat. The separator here is the blend: power, speed, and dependable infield/outfield flexibility. For a team wanting a gritty, productive, all-around contributor, Brister looks like a very useful fit.
