Makynlie Jones brings middle-of-the-order pop and elite glove work to Northwestern State
Jones looks like a difference-maker for Northwestern State in the 2026 season: she hit .296 in her first season as a Demon, led the team in doubles (13) and RBI (32), tied for the team lead with three home runs, and played error-free defense across first base and right field in 181 chances. Her calling card is legit power with gap-to-gap damage, plus the kind of steady, low-mistake defense coaches love. She also comes with proven winning-bat pedigree from Jones College, where she posted huge power numbers and earned national defensive honors.
