MOLLY FINCH: WOMENS BATTING AVERAGE CHAMPION
MOLLY FINCH: WOMENS BATTING AVERAGE CHAMPION
1 APRIL 2025
UWA baseball player Molly Finch has had a phenomenal and highly successful season. A skilled infielder and leadoff hitter, Molly was a force behind the plate batting .686 and going on to win the title for Baseball WA 2024/25 Women's Batting Average Champion. Molly's power with the bat this season set new club women's records for single season batting, slugging and on base averages. As a club we are delighted to highlight and celebrate Molly's achievement as the first UWA female baseball player to win a league batting title, a championship award that has not been won by a UWA Baseball player in 13 years. She was the first female player to win the title while playing for a club other than the Braves since 2017/18.
