A young Spartan infielder with pop, speed, and a growing role
In the 2025 season, Olivia Burkshire showed promising two-way value for South Carolina Upstate, appearing in three games and posting a .333 batting average with her first collegiate hit, an RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases. The big differentiator here is blend: she brings infield flexibility, quickness on the bases, and early flashes of contact ability, which makes her a useful fit for a program that loves athletes who can impact the game in multiple ways. She’s still a developing piece, but the ceiling is intriguing.
