Niki Bode is a high-contact, high-on-base infielder powering Evansville’s lineup
In the 2026 season, Niki Bode has shown the kind of bat control and plate discipline that makes coaches pay attention: she was the MVC Player of the Week after going 9-for-11 with a .818 average, a .875 on-base rate, five walks, three RBI, and two doubles, and she also earned All-MVC Second Team honors in 2025 with a .329 average. She looks like a strong fit if you want a reliable middle-order contributor who brings consistency, tough at-bats, and proven conference-level production.[1][2][4]
