Braxton Brown is the Gaels’ RBI machine with pop to spare
In the 2026 season, Saint Mary’s junior Braxton Brown emerged as a middle-of-the-order force, finishing with a .342 average, 9 home runs, and a school-record 54 RBI while helping power a historic team run. Her game plays loud: extra-base damage, run production, and a knack for coming through in big spots, including multiple multi-RBI explosions. That kind of production from a P/INF is rare and valuable, and the roster note plus second-team All-WCC honors suggest she’s both versatile and one of the conference’s most dangerous hitters.
