Maura Pendleton brings contact-first spark and steady defense for Gardner-Webb
In the 2025 season, Maura Pendleton hit .350 across 44 games and 39 starts, with 36 hits, 21 runs, and just 10 strikeouts — the kind of bat-to-ball profile coaches love when they want pressure without the free outs.[1] The 5-foot-1 lefty outfielder also posted a .952 fielding percentage, showing reliable glue-player value in the outfield, and her 2024-25 rise suggests a dependable, high-effort graduate veteran who fits teams needing speed, consistency, and low-drama production.[1][2]
