Grace Lawton brings elite-contact production and middle-infield value to CCSU
Grace Lawton has emerged as one of Central Connecticut State’s most dangerous bats, ranking among NCAA Division I batting leaders in 2026 with a .579 average through the early season and earning ECAC All-ECAC recognition at first base.[2][3] The standout differentiator is her ability to consistently put the ball in play at a high level, giving a lineup a reliable top-of-order presence rather than a pure power profile.[2][3] For a team, that means high-contact offense, steady run creation, and a player with proven all-conference impact.
