Delaney Ellis brings gap power, clutch contact, and middle-infield value to Buffalo
In the 2026 season, Buffalo infielder Delaney Ellis has flashed real offensive pop and timely production, including a home run against Wisconsin and a sacrifice fly in a win over Hofstra, while also handling the middle infield for the Bulls.[1][5][15] She’s the kind of player coaches like because she can impact a game with a bat, play multiple infield spots, and show up in high-leverage moments; the one flag is that Buffalo’s fielding lines also show a couple of defensive miscues, so her fit is best for a team that values upside, versatility, and toughness over polish alone.[1][14]
