Avery Motroni brings clutch-contact value and versatility to ASU’s young battery mix
In the 2026 season, Avery Motroni has shown a knack for timely contact and run production for Arizona State, including a first career hit that sparked a comeback win over Memphis and later RBI hits as a pinch hitter and DP. She arrived as a highly regarded catcher/infielder recruit — ranked among the nation’s top catchers — with a reputation for an old-school catcher’s toughness, a strong arm, and competitive edge. The big question for fit is upside versus volume: she looks like a versatile, high-IQ glue piece who can help a team win gritty games.
