Freshman power bat making early noise for FGCU
Mackenzie Leiti has already shown she can change a game for Florida Gulf Coast, with early-season home-run pop and run-producing impact as a freshman in 2026[2]. She profiles as a **right-handed catcher/infielder** with real power and a reputation for bringing strong behind-the-plate work and a positive dugout presence, which matters if you want more than just stat-sheet production[6]. The fit is especially appealing for teams looking for a young, competitive bat with upside and immediate energy; the main question is how quickly her offensive impact scales against tougher pitching as the season unfolds[2][6].
