Freshman catcher Mya Laroya brings pop, versatility, and early momentum to St. John’s
In the 2026 season, Mya Laroya flashed early upside for St. John’s, including her first career multi-hit game and a two-hit, two-run outing in a 7-3 win over Fordham, while also showing the ability to contribute at both catcher and third base. She’s a compact 5-foot-3 freshman from Norwalk, Calif., who arrived with a reputation for multi-sport toughness and a strong softball background. The big question is volume, not talent: if her bat keeps trending up, she looks like a gritty, adaptable piece who can fit a program that values energy, contact, and infield flexibility.
