Grace Matej is Utah State’s clutch, all-around anchor behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Grace Matej has been one of Utah State’s most reliable offensive threats and a preseason All-Mountain West selection, bringing a loud bat, middle-order pop, and steady defense at catcher. She entered 2026 as a two-time all-MW honoree and had already built a career .352 average with 19 home runs and a .992 fielding percentage, while the Aggies also highlighted her as a 2025 first-team all-conference performer. The best reason to care: she’s the kind of high-impact, low-drama player who can change games with one swing and still give you premium defensive value.
