Kendall Yarnell is UCF’s breakout bat—and a chaos engine in the middle of the Knights’ lineup
In the 2026 season, Kendall Yarnell emerged as a true difference-maker for UCF, appearing in all 61 games and hitting .344 with a .446 on-base percentage and .747 slugging, plus 15 home runs, 46 RBI, nine doubles, and four triples. She’s the kind of utility player coaches love: versatile, clutch, and built for big moments, with UCF notes and game coverage repeatedly highlighting her ability to come through off the bench and deliver in pressure spots. For a team wanting energy, pop, and a fearless competitor, she’s a very attractive fit.
