Kendal Leitner is a two-way spark plug for Kent State
Kendal Leitner entered the 2025 season as a true problem for opponents, hitting .400 with 46 hits, 37 RBIs, six home runs, and a .626 slugging percentage while also throwing 42.0 innings with 27 strikeouts[1][2]. She earned All-MAC Second Team honors and repeatedly showed big-moment pop, including a grand slam stretch that helped define Kent State’s offense[1][8][13]. What makes her intriguing is the two-way value: bat-first impact with enough pitching utility to keep her on the field in multiple roles[1][2][3].
