Katie Stewart is a home-run machine with SEC Player of the Year juice
In the 2026 season, Texas softball’s Katie Stewart became the program’s single-season home run record-holder and an SEC Player of the Year, pairing elite power with a huge on-base profile and middle-of-the-order damage. She’s the kind of hitter who changes a game with one swing—Texas called her a top-10 USA Softball Player of the Year finalist, and reports around the WCWS described her as one of the nation’s most feared bats. If you want a hard-nosed, high-intensity run producer with star-level upside, she’s absolutely a fit.
