Tori Edwards remains LSU’s power-on-base threat, even after a dip in 2026
Edwards is still the kind of bat opponents game-plan for: in the 2026 season at LSU, she hit .284 with 12 home runs, 45 RBI, a .451 on-base percentage and a .568 slugging percentage, while leading the Tigers with 48 walks and going a perfect 9-for-9 stealing bases[1][6][9]. The bigger story is her ceiling: in the 2025 season, she was an All-American and SEC Freshman of the Year who posted a program-record .802 slugging percentage and tied LSU’s single-season home run mark with 18, so the profile screams impact, patience, and real middle-of-the-order juice[2][4][15].
