Zuri Patterson brings lefty pop to Washington’s infield
In the 2026 season, freshman Zuri Patterson appeared in 17 games for Washington, logged six hits and four RBI, and launched her first career home run at Santa Clara — a clean snapshot of a bat-first infield prospect with real juice[1][4][11]. The Huskies have described her as a pure left-handed power hitter with intimidating power, and that combination — plus her strong competitive background in Iowa — makes her the kind of player who can change a lineup with one swing[2][7][9].
