Nikki Donahue is Emerging as a Reliable Two-Way Threat Behind the Plate
In the 2026 season, Nikki Donahue gave Oregon State steady value as a catcher, starting 15 of 16 games and hitting .268 with 2 doubles, 2 home runs, 9 RBI, and a .972 fielding percentage. What stands out is the combo of everyday defensive trust and timely pop, plus the fact she is producing in a demanding position where pitchers and game-calling matter as much as the box score. If you want a catcher who can handle the staff and add occasional damage at the plate, she looks like a credible fit.
