Allie Cromer is giving South Dakota a steady bat with a timely pop
In the 2026 season, Allie Cromer has been a useful middle-order spark for South Dakota, highlighted by a four-hit game with a home run and two RBI against Kansas City and a clutch RBI single in Summit League play. She has shown extra-base hit ability, run-production instincts, and enough versatility to appear in multiple defensive/lineup roles. The standout trait is composure in big moments: Cromer keeps showing up in pressure at-bats, which makes her a fit for a team that values contact, toughness, and a hitter who can quietly flip a game.
