Katie Hofmann brings big-bat pedigree to South Dakota’s lineup
Hofmann arrived at South Dakota in 2026 with a serious reputation: she was the 2025 NJCAA Division II First Team All-American and Diamond Sports/NFCA Catcher of the Year after hitting .483 with 21 home runs and 97 RBIs at Phoenix College. She profiles as a power-first catcher who can change a game with one swing, and her bat already flashed in key moments for the Coyotes, including a two-run pinch-hit single in the 2026 NCAA regional. If you want run production, poise, and a catcher with proven impact, she’s a strong fit.
