Jake Long has become a middle-of-the-order force for Utah
In the 2026 season, Utah’s junior outfielder has emerged as a legitimate impact bat, posting a .374 average with 11 home runs and 58 RBI while also delivering a cycle and a 5-for-6, two-homer outburst in a comeback win that shows real game-changing upside.[1][5] At 6'3" and 215 pounds, the left-handed hitter brings extra-base pop and run production, but what stands out most is his ability to flip a game in one swing and rise to the moment—exactly the kind of offensive centerpiece that makes a lineup more dangerous.[1][5]
