Emilie Ching gives App State a middle-of-the-order punch with pop, polish, and big-moment production
In the 2026 season, Emilie Ching emerged as a real difference-maker for App State, hitting .234 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, and a .979 fielding percentage at first base while starting all but one game. She finished second on the team in homers and fourth in RBI and walks, which says a lot about her blend of power and discipline. The big takeaway: she’s not just a bat—she’s a steady, high-IQ infielder with academic chops, clutch upside, and enough offensive thunder to fit well in a lineup that needs damage without chaos.
