Jada Zepeda brings contact-first spark and freshman upside to the Islanders
In the 2026 season, Jada Zepeda has been a steady table-setter for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, hitting .230 with 31 hits, 22 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, and a .362 on-base percentage through 53 games, while also flashing a smaller but efficient sample of contact skill earlier in the year as a freshman contributor. She fits as a disruptive outfielder who gets on base, runs the bases aggressively, and plays with a scrappy, can-hear-her-from-the-dugout energy; that kind of speed-and-pressure profile is valuable if a team wants hustle, versatility, and a player who can tilt innings without needing to leave the yard.
