Fredericksburg

For Fredericksburg Nationals fans, the energy inside the ballpark isn’t just about the game on the field — it’s also about the voice and personality that keep the crowd laughing, cheering, and on their feet. That’s where Abby Lybarger comes in.

Lybarger, 22 years old, serves as the on-field emcee for the FredNats. She’s the one running contests between innings, hyping up the fans, and making sure even the slowest stretches of baseball are packed with fun. Lyberger, her cameraman, and her team constantly move around the stadium during every game, traveling up and down the stairs, finding fans to talk to, and setting up activities like Potato Sack Races in between innings.
