Janelle Martinez is FIU’s do-it-all contact bat with veteran presence
In the 2026 season, Janelle Martinez has been one of FIU’s most productive everyday hitters, batting .377 with a .914 OPS and 61 hits in 162 at-bats, while also delivering 25 runs and 45 RBIs across 51 games. The fifth-year Puerto Rico native brings real roster value because she can play catcher, infield, and outfield, which is gold for lineup flexibility. Her profile screams steady contact, situational hitting, and experience at a high level, including time with Puerto Rico’s national team. If you want a reliable, versatile veteran who can lengthen an order and handle pressure, she’s your kind of player.
