1. Terra McGowan, Oregon
After redshirting for the 2019 season following a transfer, McGowan has come out of the gate red-hot in 2020. She leads the Ducks with a .452 batting average on the season, and her 1.245 OPS ranks third on the roster. She leads the team in hits, doubles, and RBIs; the Ducks have a fairly winnable slate at the Nutter, with the highlight being a game against Northwestern, and count on McGowan's bat playing a big factor in how things go for her Ducks.
