Jamie Calkins brings steady two-way value at shortstop for Merrimack
In the 2026 season, Merrimack shortstop Jamie Calkins started all 41 games, led the team with 97 assists, and added 17 hits, seven RBI, three steals, and three extra-base hits—proof of a glove-first middle infielder who can also chip in offensively[1]. She showed up in key moments, including multi-hit and RBI games in conference play, and her profile suggests the kind of dependable, high-intensity infield presence coaches love: rangy, durable, and willing to do the unglamorous work that keeps a team clean up the middle[1][3][9].
