Piper Ruhl brings pop, versatility, and local-leader energy to South Dakota
Piper Ruhl is a right-handed catcher/third baseman for South Dakota who arrived with real power credentials — she finished her high school career as Lincoln North Star’s home run and RBI record holder, and she entered USD as a two-time all-conference, four-year varsity standout. In the 2026 season, she contributed as a depth bat/defensive option and had a multi-hit game against Sam Houston, signaling upside if her contact rate climbs. What makes her interesting: power potential, infield/catching flexibility, and a track record of producing under pressure — plus the kind of steady, high-IQ profile coaches love to develop.
