Kaygen Marshall is Baylor’s freshman power bat with immediate Big 12 impact
In the 2026 season, Kaygen Marshall made a loud entrance for Baylor as an All-Big 12 Freshman Team pick and the Bears’ home run leader with 10 homers, including a clutch blast in the upset of No. 2 Texas Tech.[1][3] She started all 52 games, moved from multiple infield spots to settle at third base, and handled the transition like a pro—proof of a versatile, high-motor player who can help a team right away.[1][3] If you want a utility bat with legit pop, competitive edge, and freshman-year upside, Marshall checks the box.
