Taylor Wren brings pesky bunt-speed and freshman grit to UCR’s middle infield
In the 2026 season, UC Riverside freshman Taylor Wren has shown the kind of disruptive, detail-obsessed game that coaches love in a mid infielder: a .174 batting average with 8 hits, 5 runs, and 1 RBI, plus sacrifice-bunt value and a knack for manufacturing offense in tight spots[1][2]. Her high-school résumé matters too — she arrives from Etiwanda as a 2024 CIF Southern Section and CIF State champion and first-team all-league pick, suggesting she already knows how to compete in pressure-cooker moments[1].
