Ali Banks brings versatile, right-handed pop and speed to Purdue’s lineup
Ali Banks is a senior IF/OF for Purdue in the 2026 season, and the appeal is pretty clear: he’s a multi-position athlete with a track record of producing at the plate, creating havoc on the bases, and fitting wherever the Boilermakers need him. Purdue lists him as an athletic utility man, and his junior-college résumé includes a .429/.552/.599 line with 18 extra-base hits, 49 RBI, and 13 steals in the 2025 season, plus World Series experience. He looks like a high-energy, plug-and-play fit for teams that want versatility, contact, and a bit of sneaky juice.
