Ava Hartman brings smart, high-upside outfield depth to Eastern Illinois
Ava Hartman entered Eastern Illinois in 2025 as a high-academic, multi-sport outfielder with a proven prep bat: a career 1.227 OPS, 21 home runs, and 100 RBI in high school, plus three all-conference honors. In college, her early role has been limited—she played in four games in 2026 after appearing in two as a freshman in 2025—so the intrigue is mostly about upside, not volume. The fit is strongest for a team that values athleticism, versatility, and a player with a strong work ethic and room to grow.
