Purdue’s steady two-way backstop, Delaney Reefe brings power, contact, and elite defense
In 2025 at Purdue, Delaney Reefe emerged as a dependable two-way catcher: she played in 48 games, hit .275 with a team-high 13 doubles, added two home runs, and went a perfect 5-for-5 on stolen-base attempts while posting a .976 fielding percentage and a team-leading 233 putouts.[1] The bigger selling point is her profile fit: a high-IQ, low-mistake defender with enough gap power and athleticism to impact games even when she is not homering, plus strong academic and leadership indicators from her all-region and All-Big Ten recognition.[1]
