Ady Kiddy is an athletic, high-contact infielder whose bat has already shown real upside for Illinois
In the 2026 season, Ady Kiddy gave Illinois a steady infield presence, appearing in 35 games with 27 starts at second base while hitting .229 with 16 hits, 14 runs, seven RBI, a home run and three stolen bases. Her calling card is offensive upside built on feel for the strike zone and quick-impact tools: she earned a first career hit with a two-RBI double, later added her first home run, and was the lone Illini to swipe two bags in a game. She also arrives with proven high-school production and a reputation as an all-state bat, making her a fit for teams that value athleticism, versatility and competitive energy.[1][4][6][7]
