Abbie Gregus is Loyola Chicago’s defensive anchor behind the plate
A physical 5-foot-10 catcher, Abbie Gregus stands out for her run-stopping defense and a strong arm that helped her lead the league with 11 runners caught stealing in 2026, while also ranking 12th nationally in that category. Offensively, she gave Loyola Chicago reliable middle-of-the-order pop in 2026 with five doubles, one home run and nine RBIs across 50 appearances, and she also missed the 2025 season due to injury before returning. If a team wants a gritty, experienced catcher who controls the running game and brings proven toughness, she’s a very real fit.
