Kennedy Byrd is FIU’s two-way engine — power arm, clutch bat, all-conference impact
In the 2026 season, Kennedy Byrd emerged as one of FIU’s most valuable players, earning All-Conference USA honors and even winning CUSA Player of the Week after a .750 week with three homers and five RBI. She brings rare two-way value: a frontline pitching workload, a no-hitter pedigree from 2025, and real middle-of-the-order pop. Byrd looks like a fit if you want a competitor who can carry innings, change a game with one swing, and bring veteran toughness — the kind coaches trust when the lights get bright.
