Cornell’s Hailey Pirkey: a left-handed power bat with clutch Ivy impact
Pirkey is a strong fit for teams needing a middle-order outfield/DH bat who already has proven Ivy League production and the kind of power that changes games. In 2025, she hit .330 with nine home runs, ranked second in the Ivy League in homers, and added value defensively by throwing out 10 base stealers; in 2026 she continued flashing big-game pop, including a four-RBI outing with a three-run homer against Harvard. Cornell’s coaches have rewarded her with All-Ivy recognition, and the pattern is clear: she drives the ball, draws walks, and delivers in pressure spots.[2][5][6]
