Versatile App State utility with a proven bat and serious grit
In the 2026 season, Summer Simpson stands out as a true utility piece for App State: a multi-position player with a strong high-school track record (.476 with 5 HR, 27 RBI, and 15 steals as a junior at Davie County) and the kind of resilience that matters in a program builder. Her profile suggests athleticism, lineup flexibility, and competitive toughness—plus a compelling backstory after overcoming SVT-related heart issues that once sent her racing to 266 bpm in games. She’s the kind of player coaches love for fit, versatility, and upside.
