Numbers That Defy Convention

Ellis’s final collegiate season has drawn attention nationwide for its unprecedented production. She leads the NCAA in both slugging percentage (1.229) and on-base percentage (.663), while batting .492 good for fourth nationally. With 26 home runs and 72 RBIs, she has already shattered Arkansas single-season records in both categories.

Her on-base plus slugging (OPS) mark of 1.892 stands as the highest in the nation since the NCAA began officially tracking the stat in 2016, underscoring her rare combination of power and plate discipline.

Beyond raw numbers, Ellis’s consistency has been notable. She reached base in 22 of Arkansas’s 24 conference games, finishing league play on a 20-game reached-base streak. She also tallied nine multi-RBI outings and seven multi-hit performances against SEC opponents.
