Alyssa Hovermale is giving South Carolina a clutch, gap-to-gap spark in 2026
In the 2026 season, Alyssa Hovermale has shown the kind of timely pop and run-producing calm coaches love: she delivered her first career home run in a 5-4 win at Winthrop on Feb. 25, added a two-RBI single in a 2-0 road win at Mississippi State, and has repeatedly come through with RBI hits in pressure spots. A Florida transfer and 2026 South Carolina infielder, she looks like a veteran bat with a steady approach, strong contact skills, and enough versatility to fit into a lineup that values toughness, situational hitting, and no-drama production.
