Gabriela Sosa brings rare power to Purdue behind the plate
Gabriela Sosa profiles as a true impact bat at catcher for Purdue, arriving after a monster 2025 at Paris Junior College where she was NJCAA Conference and Region 14 Player of the Year, set the all-time NJCAA home run record, and hit 41 homers with a .454 average and 115 RBI in the 2025 season. Purdue’s 2026 notes show she was used in a limited role early, but her carry tool is obvious: middle-of-the-order power, run production, and the kind of game-breaking strength that can flip a lineup. If you want ceiling, she’s got it in loud, extra-base packages.
