Taryn Clements brings elite two-way value behind the plate for Santa Clara
In the 2025 season, Clements stood out as Santa Clara’s Defensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-WCC catcher, pairing a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with a strong offensive profile that included a .336 batting average, .419 on-base percentage, and 32 RBI.[2][4] She also drew praise for her discipline and reliability, ranking among the league’s better extra-base and run producers while handling a heavy workload behind the dish.[2][4] For a team, her appeal is simple: premium defense, dependable contact hitting, and the kind of steady, high-IQ presence coaches trust in the middle of the diamond.[2][4]
