Hadley Gardner brings middle-order pop and steady two-way value for UNCG
Gardner emerged as one of UNC Greensboro’s most dangerous young bats in 2025, earning SoCon All-Freshman honors after hitting .310 with 11 home runs, a .579 slugging percentage and 33 runs in 52 games; in 2026, she continued to profile as a reliable everyday outfielder and was named CSC Academic All-District and a preseason All-SoCon Second Team pick. Her differentiators are real power, a solid on-base profile, and enough defensive stability to stay in the lineup every day—ideal for a team needing an impact bat with competitive consistency and upside.
