Kulak brings contact-first upside and veteran offensive production from Buchanan
Samantha Kulak enters San José State with a proven high-contact profile and strong high-school résumé, posting a .444 batting average, .548 on-base percentage, .616 slugging percentage, 1.164 OPS, and 32 runs at Buchanan while earning TRAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-TRAC honors in 2024-25.[4] At 5'7" and batting left, she profiles as an outfielder who can help a lineup with table-setting ability and competitive edge; early 2026 college stats show limited output so far, so her value right now is more about development runway than immediate stat-line impact.[1][4] Her fit is strongest for a team that values disciplined offense, versatility in the outfield, and a player whose recruiting track record suggests she can keep raising her ceiling.[4][6]
