Hailey Frantz brings pop, poise, and freshman impact for Providence
In the 2026 season, Providence freshman Hailey Frantz hit .258 with 5 home runs, 19 RBI, 32 hits, a .419 slugging percentage and a .363 on-base percentage, while starting 45 of 47 games and earning All-BIG EAST Second Team honors[1][4][6]. A catcher/infielder who also threw out 7 runners stealing, Frantz looks like a two-way roster fit: real lineup power, everyday reliability, and enough defensive versatility to help a staff breathe a little easier[1][4].
