Ava Burkett brings elite power and rare consistency to Nicholls
Ava Burkett arrives at Nicholls as a proven run producer and one of Louisiana’s most dangerous hitters: in the 2025 season at Destrehan, she batted .589 with 22 home runs, 68 RBIs, a .660 on-base percentage, and just six strikeouts, finishing with 45 career homers and 187 career RBIs. Beyond the eye-popping power, the differentiator is her discipline—she paired loud exit velocity with a polished approach, rarely giving away at-bats. For a team needing middle-of-the-order impact and a steady defender at third or first, she looks like a high-upside fit.
