Bernal-Mahagan brings immediate middle-of-the-order pop to Upstate
Mackenzei Bernal-Mahagan is already proving to be a high-impact bat for South Carolina Upstate, earning Big South Co-Player of the Week after a .545 weekend with two home runs and a 1.091 slugging percentage, while also sitting second on the team early in the 2026 season with a .476 average and 13 RBI. She profiles as a polished, transfer-infused run producer with proven NJCAA star power and strong contact-plus-power traits, making her a good fit for a team that needs an infielder who can change a game offensively and handle pressure fast.
