Jess Bianco is St. John’s table-setter and tone-setter in center field
Bianco is the kind of outfielder who changes a lineup with speed, contact, and consistency: in 2026 she started all 55 games in center field, earned BIG EAST Player of the Week honors, and led St. John’s and the conference in hits with a team-best .419 batting average[3][8]. She was already an all-conference difference-maker as a sophomore, leading the Red Storm in batting average, on-base percentage, and stolen bases, and she owns the program’s all-time hits and runs records—clear signs of a high-IQ, high-output player who fits a team that values reliability, pressure on the bases, and everyday competitiveness[1][4].
