Rylee Slimp is UCLA’s relentless leadoff spark—and one of the most dangerous table-setters in softball
In the 2026 season, Rylee Slimp turned into a monster at the top of UCLA’s lineup, hitting .422 with 99 runs, 17 homers, and a .528 OBP while earning NFCA Third Team All-American and All-Big Ten First Team honors. She’s not just fast or flashy—she pairs legit power with gap-to-gap damage, discipline, and big-moment poise, including a four-hit, go-ahead homer game against Indiana. For a team, she looks like a high-impact, low-drama bat with elite production and proven pressure performance.
