Jake Hooten is giving Navy a real spark at the plate
In the 2026 season, Navy outfielder Jake Hooten has been a useful left-handed leadoff-type presence, batting .218 with 15 RBIs and steady baserunning juice, including multiple stolen bases and at least two homers in key Patriot League moments. He’s a fit if your team values speed, pressure, and toughness over pure polish: he’s shown he can jump on mistakes, score in bunches, and keep an offense moving, even if the hit tool still looks like it’s developing.
