Speed is a big part of Kaelyn Utech’s game, but she can do more than just run. The 2029 outfielder and slapper finished the season hitting .500 with a .547 OBP and 1.176 OPS, totaling 62 singles, 10 doubles, five triples, and 45 RBIs. At the plate, she can play the short game, slap through the defense, or swing away, depending on the situation. In the outfield, Utech uses her speed to close on balls in the gaps and take away hits. Utech showed all season that she can beat teams in more ways than one.

Kaelyn Utech was a player her team could count on in big moments all summer. The 2029 outfielder hit .520 with a 1.313 OPS, six doubles, two triples, 17 RBIs, and nine walks in 59 at-bats as part of her excellence this summer season. A quick slapper, Utech put pressure on defenses every time she stepped into the box and consistently found ways to get on base. She brought that same reliability to the outfield, making plays and helping her team on both sides of the game. Whether it was a key at-bat or a big defensive play, Utech continued to come through for her team this summer, and we expect that level of play to continue through fall ball.
