Kate English brings high-upside utility pop to App State
In the 2026 season, Kate English arrives at App State as a utility player with real two-way value: she was a Georgia state champion at Creekview, earned a top-100 ranking in Georgia, and posted a .550 batting average in the Elite Eight of the state tournament with a home run and five runs driven in.[1][2] She’s a multi-sport athlete with a reputation for versatility and competitive edge, and App State’s staff specifically highlighted that she’ll improve the program in “every aspect of the game,” which is coach-speak for a player who does the little things, not just the loud ones.[2]
