Natalie Donaldson is a speed-first Georgia freshman carving out a niche as a reliable pinch-runner
In the 2026 season, Donaldson appeared in 41 games for Georgia and was used primarily as a pinch runner, scoring 11 runs with one hit in six at-bats; her value is in her speed, roster flexibility, and willingness to embrace a role that helps a contender win tight games. She’s a left-handed hitter and right-handed thrower with a 5-foot-5 frame, and Georgia’s preseason notes flagged her as someone expected to see time right away. If you need a polished table-setter and bench spark rather than a power bat, she fits the bill.
