Taryn Massey is NC State’s clutch, versatile infield bat
In the 2026 season, Taryn Massey gave NC State a steady, flexible presence by starting 50 of 53 games, splitting time across first base, left field and right field while hitting .250 with 34 hits, 21 RBIs and 20 runs scored. She also drew 16 walks, was hit by pitch three times, and went a perfect 3-for-3 on stolen bases, showing a sneaky all-around value profile. The separator? She’s a high-leverage contributor with pop—after flashing that in 2025 with a grand slam against Duke—and she looks like the kind of competitive, adaptable piece coaches trust when the game gets messy.
