Allee Noble brings upside behind the plate for Ball State
In the 2026 season, redshirt sophomore catcher Allee Noble has been a useful depth piece for Ball State, showing immediate contact ability with a .500 average in limited at-bats and driving in runs in key spots. The 5-foot-4 Tucson native brings a strong defensive pedigree from Canyon del Oro, where she won Golden Glove honors all four varsity seasons and hit .410 for her prep career. She looks like a high-energy, team-first catcher with good feel and some sneaky offensive pop, making her a smart fit for a staff that values toughness, reliability, and steady production.
