Lindsey DeRoeck brings real middle-of-the-order juice to Ball State
In the 2026 season, Lindsey DeRoeck has been one of Ball State’s most reliable bats, hitting .371 with 41 RBI, 18 doubles, two triples, and four home runs while anchoring the infield with a .988 fielding percentage at first base. She stands out for gap-to-gap power, run production, and steady contact, and she’s the kind of hitter who can change an inning fast without needing the long ball. Add in a strong 2025 season at Queens and a track record of immediate impact, and the fit looks very clean for teams wanting an experienced, high-contact, high-leverage bat.
