Lily Sullivan is Akron’s line-drive bat with clutch-postseason pop
In the 2026 season, Lily Sullivan hit .326 with 60 hits, 13 doubles, 5 home runs and 39 RBI while starting all 60 games for Akron, and she also delivered a walk-off grand slam in the MAC Tournament to send the Zips to the championship game. Sullivan’s value goes beyond the stat line: she’s a reliable middle-order utility piece, a postseason pressure player, and a steady two-year producer who earned All-MAC honors as a freshman and has kept trending up. If a team wants a tough, versatile hitter who shows up in big moments, she fits.
