Hali Duke is a breakout freshman bat for Presbyterian’s infield
Hali Duke has been one of the Big South’s most productive freshmen in 2026, setting Presbyterian’s single-season batting average record at .384 while leading the team in hits, runs, doubles, RBI, slugging, and on-base percentage. She stands out for elite contact skills, plate discipline, and clutch production—she struck out only 11 times in 171 plate appearances and reached base in a 27-game streak. For a team, she profiles as a high-IQ, high-floor infielder who already impacts winning and has earned the conference’s Freshman of the Year award.
