Lucie McDonald brings pop, clutch, and a freshman surge to Middle Tennessee
In the 2026 season, Lucie McDonald emerged as a high-impact infielder for Middle Tennessee, appearing in 39 games with 35 starts at second base while batting .242 with a team-best-looking power profile: a .495 slugging percentage, seven home runs, nine extra-base hits, and 16 RBI. Her calling card is timely damage—she earned CUSA Freshman of the Week after a monster series against Kennesaw State, and the Blue Raiders highlighted her grand slam as the lone grand slam of their season. She looks like a fit for teams wanting middle-infield toughness with sneaky, game-flipping pop.
