Gabi Toney is emerging as Washington’s sneaky-power infield bat
In the 2026 season, Gabi Toney flashed real pop for Washington: she hit .316 with 6 doubles, 6 home runs, and 24 RBI, while appearing in 52 games and starting 40, mostly as the designated player[13]. The Huskies also note she has been developing into a right-handed power hitter, and her early-season bursts included multiple big swings in wins over Nebraska, UTSA, and Santa Clara[3][6][9]. Why care? She looks like a versatile, momentum-swinging bat with upside, and the kind of hitter who can change a game with one cut—very “do not blink” energy[3][13].
