Samiya Wright gives Portland State a contact-first spark with upside
In the 2026 season, Samiya Wright was a depth piece who flashed real late-game value for Portland State, including a first career home run in the Big Sky Tournament and a key pinch-hit single in a March rally. Her profile reads like a gamer: versatile, competitive, and ready to come off the bench without shrinking from pressure. The stat line isn’t loud, but the upside is in the moments—she can help a roster that values toughness, situational hitting, and energy. If you want a high-effort, team-first catcher/utility-type who won’t blink in big spots, she’s worth a look.
