Currently there are 10 underclassmen of the 19 players on the team's roster. And Iowa State typically starts five of those 10 underclassmen.
The usual suspects of underclassmen in the starting lineup include freshman Nychole Antillon at third base, sophomore Cathlin Bingham in the outfield, sophomore Rachel Hartman at catcher, freshman Kelsey McFarland and either sophomore Katie Johnson or freshman Brianna Weilbacher at pitcher.
These underclassmen have been putting in work for the Cyclones this season, with the results to back it up. On the offensive side, Antillon, Bingham, Hartman, and McFarland all bat .235 or higher.
