BYU catcher Abbey Carroll brings veteran depth and defensive value behind the plate
Abbey Carroll entered the **2026 season** as a **junior catcher** for BYU, giving the Cougars a mature, roster-tested option at a premium defensive position.[3][4] Her biggest value is likely the blend of **experience, game-management, and stability** that teams want from a backstop, rather than headline-grabbing stat production; BYU’s published 2024 stats list her with limited offensive output, so her fit is more about defense, preparation, and handling a staff than pure bat-first impact.[6]
