Jett Kenady looks like Cal’s freshman force in the infield
In the 2026 season, Jett Kenady emerged as one of California’s most dangerous young bats, hitting .320 with an .923 OPS, 11 home runs, 17 doubles and 36 runs while earning Freshman First-Team All-America honors. He brings middle-of-the-order pop, steady production, and the kind of big-moment confidence coaches love; the “why care” here is simple: he already profiles as a high-upside infield anchor with legitimate MLB-track tools, not just a stats collector.
