Reese Hunter gives Georgia Tech a steady bat and a veteran catcher’s edge
In the 2026 season, Georgia Tech catcher Reese Hunter emerged as a high-contact, middle-of-the-order threat and a plus defensive backstop, hitting around .372 to .403 during the year and finishing with 54 hits, nine home runs, 33 RBI, and a .993 fielding percentage. She also ranked third in the ACC in caught-stealing percentage, which tells you the glove plays as loudly as the bat. The appeal here is simple: Hunter brings toughness, experience, and two-way reliability — the kind of catcher contenders love because she controls the game, not just the box score.
