Joey Wright is UC Davis’ on-base engine with clutch pop and Big West recognition
In the 2026 season, Joey Wright earned All-Big West Honorable Mention after starting 48 of 53 games and posting a .244/.376/.340 line with 38 hits, nine doubles, two homers, 17 RBIs, 25 runs, 26 walks and nine hit-by-pitches. His biggest differentiator is plate discipline—he paired strong on-base skills with a .291 average, .437 OBP and .443 slugging in Big West play, showing he can do damage in pressure conference games. He also flashed impact moments, including a three-hit, homer game and a three-run blast, making him a gritty, high-IQ fit for a team needing toughness and table-setting production.
