Bri Despines is Louisville’s run-producing, two-way weapon behind the plate
In 2026, Despines emerged as one of the nation’s most complete catchers, hitting .402 with 70 RBIs, a .552 on-base percentage, and 17 multi-RBI games while also throwing out 12 runners and going 21-for-23 on steals. She blends middle-of-the-order power with uncommon athleticism for a catcher, and her long reached-base streaks show real consistency, not just hot streaks. If you want a tough, high-motor bat who can impact games on both sides of the ball, she is absolutely a fit.
