Cal Jones brings contact, speed, and versatility to NDSU’s infield
Cal Jones, a junior infielder for North Dakota State in 2026, looks like a steady table-setter with pop-up upside: he hit .316 in 2025 at Henderson State with 67 hits, 40 walks, 52 runs, 17 steals, and 20 extra-base hits, then carried that all-around profile into NDSU’s 2026 lineup as a left-right bat who can move the game with contact, baserunning, and timely RBIs. He’s the kind of grinder coaches love—active, disruptive, and not shy about doing the little things that swing innings.
