Florida State’s freshman catcher who hit the ground running
In the 2026 season, Anna Hinde emerged as a freshman standout for Florida State, hitting .344 with 9 home runs, 43 RBIs and a .416 on-base percentage while starting 61 games and handling the bulk of the catching duties without an error behind the plate.[1][11] She was named a D1Softball Freshmen All-American, and the combination of middle-of-the-order pop, steady defense, and composure under pressure makes her look like the kind of player you’d love to build around—especially if your roster needs a catcher with impact, reliability, and a little swagger.[1][12]
