Makenna Coleman is Rutgers’ power-speed spark in 2026
In the 2026 season, Rutgers outfielder Makenna Coleman has flashed a real middle-of-the-lineup toolkit: she was a Big Ten Players To Watch pick, has delivered multiple multi-RBI outbursts, and has already shown game-changing pop with at least two home runs, including a three-run blast against UC San Diego and a three-RBI game vs. FDU. Rutgers leaned on her bat and versatility, with her showing up in the outfield and in clutch run-producing spots. She looks like a tough, competitive fit for teams that value contact, sneaky power, and someone who can swing momentum fast.
