Makenzie Jones brings speed, contact, and instant-impact energy to New Mexico State
In the 2026 season, Makenzie Jones has already flashed the kind of game that can change innings: she went 3-for-5 with 2 RBIs and 3 stolen bases on Opening Day, and has also shown she can move the needle defensively and on the bases for the Aggies. Jones was recruited as a speedy, high-contact infielder/outfielder after a high-school career that featured a .402 average, 29 steals, and strong defensive reliability, and that profile has translated into a lively, aggressive style that fits teams wanting pressure, range, and run creation more than pure power.
