Chelsy Bautista brings efficient frontcourt production and disruptive defense to Gardner-Webb
Bautista is a 6-foot-2 forward whose recent college production shows a reliable, high-efficiency interior player: in the 2024-25 season, she averaged 3.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 21.4 minutes while shooting 43.5% from the field; at Mercer in 2022-23, she flashed more scoring punch with 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 57 steals in 25 games, suggesting a hustle-first forward who impacts possessions beyond scoring. She looks like a fit for a team that values activity, rebounding, and defensive energy over volume shooting.
