Grace Jenkins brings middle-order thunder to Arizona’s lineup
In the 2026 season, Arizona utility Grace Jenkins was a first-team All-Big 12 bat who hit .336 with 14 home runs, 65 RBI, a .706 slugging percentage, and a 1.153 OPS while starting 54 of 55 games across right field, catcher, and DH duties. She’s a clear plug-and-play fit for teams that want impact power, run production, and lineup flexibility; the postseason pop was real, too, with multiple multi-homer and big-RBI performances. Add the Big East Player of the Year pedigree from UConn and a 3.822 GPA, and you get a high-ceiling, high-IQ competitor with legit bat-to-ball juice and clutch vibes.
