Taylor Barrett is staying home. Barrett, a product of Central Grove High School and Louisville Lady Sluggers Huecker-Norwood travel team, announced her commitment to join the Hoosiers on Friday.

“Every time I stepped on campus, it felt like home,” she said. “The coaching staff is the best, the campus is beautiful, and the program is where I’ve always wanted to be.”

Barrett is currently ranked as the fourth-best player from the state and 115th overall in Softball America’s 2027 recruiting rankings. The four-star infielder has a ton of range as a defender and that ability transfers to the outfield if called upon, having a very strong arm as well. She has a ton of speed on the basepaths.

Shonda Stanton and her staff have produced a handful of the best hitters in the Big Ten and the country, the past few years, being a place where hitters want to go and thrive.

Barrett had camped and drew interest from other Big Ten and ACC schools.
