Avery Barnard brings clutch gap power and run-producing poise to Creighton’s outfield
Barnard is a useful, high-leverage bat for Creighton: in 2026 she hit .294 with 11 doubles, 35 runs and 29 RBI, then surged in pressure spots by batting .370 with runners on and .632 with runners on third and fewer than two outs. She also delivered a walk-off double in a run-rule win over Villanova, underscoring her knack for timely hits. The fit is clear if you want an experienced outfielder who can move the offense without needing to be the loudest power bat in the lineup.[1][5]
