Grace Cruthis brings .439 bat, 1.253 OPS and versatile utility value to Alabama A&M
In the 2026 season, Grace Cruthis was one of Alabama A&M’s most impactful freshmen, tying for the team lead with a .439 batting average and finishing second with a 1.253 OPS while adding 26 RBI and 10 stolen bases. She stood out not just for hitting, but for lineup flexibility and defensive utility, with the staff valuing her as a player who can help behind the plate and in the outfield. Her breakout included a 4-for-4, four-RBI game and a SWAC Hitter/Newcomer of the Week nod, signaling both production and momentum.
