Butler catcher Alona Boydston brings durability, plate discipline, and steady value behind the dish
Boydston has emerged as a reliable two-way fit for Butler, appearing in all 46 games with 45 starts in the 2026 season while ranking fourth on the team with 21 walks and contributing 29 hits, which points to a patient, dependable bat rather than a high-variance profile. A three-year varsity starter and All-State Second Team selection in high school, she arrived with a reputation for consistency and catching upside, and recruiting metrics listed a 1.80 pop time and 65 mph throwing velocity, useful markers for run prevention. She looks like the kind of steady, competitive catcher coaches trust quickly.
