Matti Severns is CBU’s speed-and-contact spark with elite baserunning juice
In the 2026 season, Matti Severns was a high-usage, top-of-the-order catalyst for California Baptist, batting .314 with 58 hits, 63 runs, 17 doubles, 12 steals, and a .721 OPS across 61 starts. She also carried real veteran value: in 2025 she hit .360, led the team in on-base percentage (.461), and set the program’s career batting-average mark (.349). The biggest differentiator is her combo of steady contact, pressure-on-the-bases pace, and proven production in big roles—exactly the kind of versatile IF/OF fit teams love when they want table-setting, grit, and a little chaos on the paths.
