Livi Payne brings timely pop and contact balance to Coastal Carolina’s lineup
Livi Payne has been a useful middle-order piece for Coastal Carolina in 2026, hitting .273 with 1 home run and 8 RBI while flashing clutch production in wins over Bowling Green, Michigan State, Ohio and Lipscomb. Her value goes beyond the box score: Coastal’s game notes show she can drive runs in without needing a huge swing-for-the-fences approach, and her C/OF versatility gives a coach lineup and defensive flexibility. If you want a steady, competitive bat who can help in high-leverage spots and move around the field, she’s the kind of fit that makes a roster better.
