Kaiea Higa is UConn’s steady middle-order bat with extra-base juice and clutch production
In the 2025 season, Kaiea Higa hit .345 with a .909 OPS for UConn, adding 9 doubles, 3 home runs, and 38 RBI in 43 games, so she’s not just a contact bat — she drives damage. She’s also shown real big-moment value, including a career-high 4 RBI game and a stretch of 6 straight multi-hit games in 2025. The differentiator: she pairs dependable infield defense with a strong, pressure-friendly bat, which makes her a good fit for a team that wants a composed, run-producing corner infielder.
