Kara Pride brings pop, speed, and catcher grit to SFA's lineup
In the 2026 season, Stephen F. Austin catcher Kara Pride has shown real two-way value: the roster lists her as a 5-foot-5 freshman from Canton, Texas, and game notes show she has delivered extra-base power and run production while also scoring and moving well on the bases. Her biggest differentiator is versatility for a catcher—she’s not just backstop defense, she’s an active offensive piece who can spark rallies. For a team needing a young, competitive catcher with upside and a little sneaky thump, Pride looks like a name worth keeping on the radar.
