Lydia Vanderwoude brings freshman impact and all-around value to Belmont's infield
Vanderwoude has already carved out a real role for Belmont as a freshman infielder, hitting .262 with an .880 OPS and producing 26 hits in 26 games for the Bruins in 2026. Beyond the line, she has shown poise in key moments—Belmont’s own game updates have highlighted her coming through with pressure at-bats—and her prep resume includes Second Team All-State honors in both 2024 and 2025. The differentiator is upside: she looks like a steady, competitive infield piece who can contribute now while still offering room to grow into a bigger two-way college asset.
