Adelina Staden gives Loyola Chicago a veteran left-handed bat with real on-base punch
In the 2026 season, Adelina Staden has been a steady run producer for Loyola Chicago, pairing contact skills with disciplined plate appearances and a strong defensive profile at C/1B. She entered the program after a decorated run at Calumet College of St. Joseph, where she hit .482 in 2025, led her team in hits, on-base percentage and slugging, and earned NFCA All-Region and third straight All-CCAC First Team honors. She looks like the kind of high-floor, competitive veteran who can stabilize a lineup and handle pressure without needing the spotlight.
