Emma Tatum Brings Versatility and High-Contact Potential to Kansas
Emma Tatum is a versatile Kansas infielder who already has game experience and the kind of contact skill that can stabilize a lineup; in the 2026 season she hit .239 with a .356 on-base percentage and .415 slugging percentage in 41 at-bats, while also handling second base in 13 starts. Her earlier high school profile showed a strong on-base profile and she was described as a versatile IF/OF, which suggests value as a flexible, coachable fit rather than a one-tool player. She looks like a useful depth piece with upside if her bat keeps trending up.
