Kira Palmer adds gritty, versatile spark for Sacred Heart
Kira Palmer is a first-year utility player for Sacred Heart in the 2026 season, and her value shows up in the little things: she can move around the field, handle pressure situations, and contribute in the lineup when the Pioneers need flexibility. She hit .222 in 2026 across 72 at-bats, with 16 hits, 12 runs, and 3 stolen bases, while also logging 9 sacrifice hits — a nice snapshot of a player who helps a team function beyond the box score. A Westlake product and four-time scholar athlete, she brings a polished, team-first profile that fits a program looking for speed, versatility, and steady effort.
