Freshman catcher with room to grow at Central Connecticut
Gianna Hotaling is listed as a freshman catcher on Central Connecticut’s 2026 softball roster, which means she’s still in the early part of her college career and likely building her role rather than carrying a stats-heavy résumé yet.[1] The biggest takeaway right now is upside: catchers who stick at the college level usually bring toughness, game-calling potential, and defensive reliability, so she’s a name worth watching for development and depth rather than immediate headline numbers.[1]
