Jaydan Israel brings OBP juice, speed, and steady infield stability to Norfolk State
In the 2026 season, Jaydan Israel was one of Norfolk State’s most productive and dependable bats: he hit .298 with 54 hits, 50 runs, 31 RBIs, 19 steals, 10 doubles, and 4 homers, while drawing a program-record 43 walks in the Division I era and posting a .988 fielding percentage in NEC play. He also returned from an injury-limited stretch and quickly produced, which points to resilience and impact under pressure. If you want a top-of-the-order infielder who can get on base, run, and keep the defense clean, he checks a lot of boxes.
