Tamia Young brings speed, pop, and bounce-back energy behind the plate for West Georgia
Tamia Young returned for the 2026 season after an injury-affected 2025, and West Georgia’s own preview makes clear she’s part of the program’s catcher core again[2]. In her 2024 freshman season, she played in 25 games with 18 starts and hit .268 with 11 singles, 4 RBIs, 17 runs, and 3 stolen bases, which tells you she’s more than just a backstop—she can move, score, and impact games in multiple ways[3]. Her profile suggests a gritty, athletic catcher with value as a steady contributor and a runner, which should appeal to teams wanting toughness and versatility rather than just traditional catching power[2][3].
