Collin Jennings keeps punishing pitchers with big-time power and gap-to-gap damage
In the 2026 season, Illinois junior OF Collin Jennings has been a middle-of-the-order force, hitting .247 with a .949 OPS, 5 home runs, 48 RBI, 9 stolen bases, and 32 walks, while also delivering a team-leading homer and multiple clutch multi-hit games[4][7][8]. The 6'5", left-right switch-hitter brings rare size, real on-base skill, and a long-ball threat that plays in every direction, and preseason Big Ten watch-list recognition backs up the buzz around his upside[3][6]. He looks like a fit for a team wanting impact power, lineup flexibility, and a bat that can change a game fast[3][4].
