Maia Pietrzak gives Ball State a steady, high-contact infielder with emerging power
Pietrzak has been one of Ball State’s most reliable everyday infield bats, hitting .341 in the current stat snapshot and flashing a bigger offensive ceiling with a two-homer outing in a 2025 loss to NIU; she also reached 100 career hits, a sign of consistent production and feel for the game.[1][3][8][9] Beyond the numbers, she brings proven defensive utility and game awareness from the infield/shortstop spot, making her a solid fit for a team that values contact, competitiveness, and dependable two-way composure.[2][8]
