Marissa Burchard brings clutch power, defensive versatility, and academic polish to UTEP
Burchard is a high-upside infielder who made an immediate impact for UTEP, earning 2026 CUSA All-Freshman Team honors after starting all 49 games and leading the Miners in hits, runs, doubles, triples, total bases, and stolen bases, while ranking second in home runs and RBI. She has shown real game-changing pop in big moments, including multiple clutch homers and a 35-game stretch without a strikeout, which points to strong plate discipline and bat-to-ball skills. Her ability to handle multiple infield spots, plus outfield reps, makes her a versatile fit for teams that value adaptability and competitiveness.[4][7]
