Emilee Baker has been a leadoff spark for Austin Peay
In the 2026 season, Emilee Baker emerged as a tone-setter for Austin Peay, starting all 53 games and leading off regularly from left field while batting around .348-.350 with 64 hits, 52 runs, and a .416 on-base mark. She brings table-setter value: contact, speed, and the kind of consistency coaches love at the top of the order. The differentiator is her run production from a leadoff spot, plus conference-level impact—25 runs in league play and a record-setting season in team runs. If you want a gritty, high-activity outfielder who can create chaos, she fits.
