Ella Shafer brings Bradley a versatile, glove-first outfielder with steady bat potential
Shafer is a useful all-around piece for Bradley because she has already shown she can handle a heavy workload, starting 49 games as a freshman and 55 as a sophomore while posting a .955 fielding percentage in 2024 and a .924 mark in 2025. Her bat has flashed enough to matter—she hit .300 in limited 2025 at-bats—and Bradley’s roster notes point to her versatility and strong prep resume as a consistent offensive contributor. The fit is best for a team valuing reliability, defensive stability, and lineup flexibility over pure power.
