Taylor Pannell brings All-American bat, elite contact, and big-moment juice to Texas Tech
Taylor Pannell entered Texas Tech in 2026 as a proven impact infielder after an All-American 2025 at Tennessee, where she hit .398 with 16 home runs and 65 RBIs and finished among the SEC’s best in batting average, on-base, slugging, runs, hits, and RBIs. In her first Red Raider season, she backed it up with a .349 average, 13 homers, 60 RBIs, 16 steals, and only 11 strikeouts in 218 at-bats, while earning Big 12 All-Defensive Team honors. Translation: polished hitter, sneaky speed, plus defense, and the kind of competitive edge that plays in October.
