Drew Hinrichs is UNI’s steady, middle-order catcher with pop and poise
Hinrichs enters 2026 as a reliable two-way centerpiece for Northern Iowa: in 2026 she hit .278 with 42 hits, 13 extra-base hits, 36 RBIs, and a .991 fielding percentage while starting 48 games behind the plate. She was also an MVC Freshman of the Week in 2025 after a strong debut season, and her profile suggests a hitter who brings both contact and punch, plus the ability to control the run game. If you want a catcher who handles pitching, throws out baserunners, and adds run production, she fits.
