Saint Mary’s clutch-pick power bat with academic polish
In the 2026 season, Taylor Lane was a steady everyday force for Saint Mary’s at first base, appearing in 51 games and starting 42, while hitting .225 with a .326 on-base percentage, eight doubles, four home runs and 26 RBI. What makes her pop beyond the box score is the clutch factor: Saint Mary’s called her a “brilliant clutch power hitter,” and her go-ahead two-run homer helped secure the Gaels’ third straight WCC title. She also brings elite academics and consistency, making her a smart fit for teams that value reliability, power, and poise.
