Tori Hinostro brings contact, versatility and spark to UC San Diego’s middle infield
Hinostro is a high-upside, high-energy infielder who already proved she can impact winning as a freshman, earning Big West Freshman of the Week after a .667 week at the plate and a series win at UC Riverside in 2026. She finished the 2026 season with a .267 average and 24 hits in 40 games, showing enough bat-to-ball skill and lineup flexibility to move around the infield when UC San Diego needs it. The differentiator is her engine: coaches trusted her in key spots, and her bio notes she loves to run and even hopes to complete a marathon one day, a good sign for fit if you want range, grit and steady effort.
