Charlotte’s steady freshman INF with pop and reliable hands
Emma Shoemaker showed early promise for Charlotte in the 2025 season, appearing in 31 games and starting 26 at second base, while adding her first collegiate hit, first home run, two multi-hit games, and a strong .932 fielding percentage on 88 chances.[1] Her value is the blend coaches like in an infield piece: dependable defense, enough bat-to-ball skill to contribute, and a freshman-year trajectory that suggests room to grow rather than a finished product.[1] If you want a young INF who looks comfortable under pressure and can develop into a more complete everyday player, she is worth a close look.[1]
