Jada Ellison brings speed, run creation, and outfield upside to Indiana
In the 2026 season, Jada Ellison has been a useful spark for Indiana as a freshman outfielder and pinch runner, appearing in 49 games with 29 runs scored and going 18-for-19 on stolen-base attempts—translation: she changes games with her legs and pressure, not just box-score pop. Indiana’s staff clearly trusts her in the outfield and as a chaos creator on the bases, and her travel-ball track record (.479 average, 44 steals in 2024) backs up the speed-first profile. She looks like a fit for teams that value tempo, versatility, and high-motor athletes who make defenses uncomfortable.
