Lydia Ettema gives DePaul a two-way edge with pop, clutch contact, and a sneaky pitching background
In the 2026 season, Lydia Ettema was one of DePaul’s most dangerous bats, hitting .270 with 6 home runs, 29 RBIs, 8 doubles, and a .838 OPS across 49 games, while still carrying RHP status on the roster[1][2]. She stands out for being a run-producer who can also handle pressure spots — DePaul highlighted her as a consistent offensive threat with multiple game-changing hits, including go-ahead and two-RBI swings[1][3]. At 5-foot-6, she’s not a power-only profile; she looks like a versatile, competitive fit for teams that value contact, timely damage, and lineup flexibility[1][10].
