Skylar Young brings contact-first versatility and steady production to UNC’s infield mix
In the 2026 season, Skylar Young has been a useful, high-contact INF/UTL for North Carolina, with a perfect 1.000 batting average in the team stat page sample and a strong run-scoring touch in limited action after appearing in 19 games as a freshman in 2025. Her calling card is versatility: left-handed bat, right-handed throw, infield flexibility, and the kind of compact offensive profile that can punish mistakes without needing loud power. Add in a local North Carolina background and postseason experience, and she looks like the sort of smart, scrappy fit coaches love for depth and situational value.
