Betsy Woodward is a spark-plug freshman bat with clutch upside for SIUE
In the 2026 season, Betsy Woodward emerged as a steady infield contributor for SIUE, finishing with a .259 batting average and 45 starts at second base while also delivering clutch moments like a game-winning hit against Morehead State and her first career home run against Southeast Missouri. She brings contact-oriented offense, quick run production, and the kind of gritty, opportunistic play that shows up in tight games. At 5'4", she’s not a power-first profile, but her recent hitting streak and ability to come through late make her a useful, competitive fit for a lineup that values toughness and timely execution.
