Canadian national-team infielder brings pro-level polish to Mizzou
Avery Porter entered Missouri with strong pedigree: a top-100 national recruit in the 2025 class, a Canadian U18 National Team call-up, and a reputation for steady infield defense and contact-driven offense. In the 2026 season, Missouri listed her on the roster as an INF, and outside stat trackers show limited production so far, which suggests she’s still carving out her role rather than padding numbers. The sell is upside: athletic, versatile, high-IQ, and battle-tested against elite competition — a tidy fit for a program that values defense, competitiveness, and lineup depth.
