Carmella Gallagher brings steady infield grit and sneaky value for Hofstra
Carmella Gallagher is a 5'7" right-handed infield sophomore at Hofstra whose value shows up in the small stuff: she earned a roster spot after starting at shortstop all four prep seasons, posted a .808 batting average in high school as a junior, and even tossed a perfect game as a senior. In Hofstra’s 2025-26 action, she has contributed as a versatile contact-and-speed piece, including her first collegiate stolen base and timely base-running. She looks like a good fit for teams that want toughness, defensive reliability, and a high-baseball-IQ (well, softball-IQ) glue player.
