Alex Jang brings leadoff juice, steady glove work, and real gap power for Youngstown State
In the 2026 season, Alex Jang quickly became a tone-setter for Youngstown State, playing 43 games with 39 starts and hitting .290 with 47 hits, 12 doubles, 3 homers, 25 RBI and 10 steals in 15 tries. He has the profile coaches love: a versatile infielder who can handle second and third, hit near the top of the order, and create pressure with contact, extra-base pop, and smart baserunning. Add in his All-Freshman recognition, and he looks like a competitive, lineup-stabilizing fit with upside.
