Bailey Amezcua brings steady catch-and-clutch value for Kansas
Bailey Amezcua is a 5-foot-3 sophomore catcher for Kansas who has already shown she can handle meaningful reps, returning after being a 30-game starter in 2026 and earning continued trust from the Jayhawks’ staff. She chipped in timely offense in 2026, including a two-RBI single at BYU and a grand slam against Utah State, while also serving as a reliable backstop in a productive Kansas lineup. The biggest draw here is her blend of toughness, game management, and situational hitting — the kind of scrappy, high-energy catcher who fits a competitive roster.
