Freshman two-way spark with real upside for UMass Lowell
Jessika Jennings entered the 2026 season as a freshman pitcher/infielder with a legit two-way résumé: she arrived from Graham-Kapowsin after earning league MVP honors, setting school records for wins and strikeouts, and helping her team finish third at state. In 2026 for UMass Lowell, she has already logged appearances in the circle, including a win in relief, showing the River Hawks she can compete under pressure and help in multiple roles. The big appeal is versatility, competitive edge, and future ceiling—she looks like a development piece with bite.
