NCAA-Leading Bats » The Stanford offense has been among the best in the country to open the season. The Card leads the NCAA in runs per game (10.3), team batting average (.460) and slugging percentage (.813). Stanford is tied for the NCAA lead in run-rule wins (7), and boasts the longest streak of run rule wins with seven straight.
9-0 Cardinal » The Card has opened the season hot, going 9-0 in a pair of home tournament weekends. Stanford slashed .460/.813/.534 as a team, scoring 93 runs. The 9-0 start is Stanford's best since going 13-0 to open the 2014 season.
Bounceback Bats » Cardinal hitters have answered every time they've been called upon this season, scoring immediately after every inning in which their opponent has scored.
No Easy Outs » Stanford has only gone 1-2-3 at the plate in one inning this season – on Feb. 8 against Fresno St. in the bottom of the fourth. The Card has posted 35 consecutive innings over eight games with at least one baserunner.
Power Surge » The Cardinal hit the ball hard in 2024 – combining to hit 56 homers after posting just 26 in 2023. The 56 home runs were the most in a single season since 2005, and the second-most all-time. Three newcomers (then-freshmen Jade Berry and Ava Gall, plus transfer Taryn Kern) combined to hit 25 home runs last season - just one shy of the team's total from 2023.
Flashback to 2024 » Stanford saw Arizona, Texas and Colorado St. last season, and played UC Davis twice last weekend. The Card went 2-1 at Arizona in 2024, and 2-0 against Colorado State. Stanford went 2-0 against UC Davis last weekend, both via run rule. Stanford and Texas split a pair of regular season matchups last year, with the Longhorns winning twice at the Women's College World Series.
Compound Growth » Since Jessica Allister took over the program ahead of the 2018 season, the Cardinal has scored more runs than the previous season every year – with the exception of the COVID-condensed 2020 season.
