Peyton Jemison brings hit-first pop, consistency, and run production to UConn’s infield
In 2026, Peyton Jemison hit .278 for UConn with 17 RBI in 34 games, after an explosive 2025 at Mercy when he posted a .402 average, 80 hits, 19 doubles, and 14 stolen bases while earning First Team All-BIG EAST recognition in his first UConn season. He stands out as a high-contact, extra-base threat with proven bat-to-ball skills, plus enough speed to add value on the bases; the main question for teams is whether his offense can keep carrying against tougher pitching, but the track record says the bat is very real.
