Payton Pudlowski is turning into Toledo’s steady two-way table-setter
In the 2026 season, Pudlowski delivered a .325 average, a .791 OPS, 37 hits, 20 RBIs, 16 runs, 5 doubles and 2 homers while starting 34 games at second base for Toledo[1]. She brings a polished right-handed bat, clutch contact ability, and enough pop to punish mistakes, plus she already showed impact in rivalry games with a three-run homer vs. Bowling Green[2][3]. Add in academic all-district recognition and a 3.763 GPA, and you get a high-floor infielder who fits a program that values reliability, competitiveness, and smart, winning baseball—softball, in this case[6][8].
