Anya German brings power, poise, and run-producing upside behind the plate
German is a catch-and-hit upgrade who arrived at Cal after a strong sophomore year and has already shown she can change games with timely extra-base pop and run production; in 2026, Utah said she had five home runs, five doubles, 20 RBIs, and had thrown out 11 would-be base stealers, while her earlier Texas Tech debut featured a .288 average and perfect fielding. Coaches praised her as a power hitter with a calming presence and competitive edge, which makes her a strong fit for a team needing an experienced, steady catcher who adds offense, not just defense.[2][1]
