Janel Morrisey is the kind of freshman shortstop who changes innings with speed, bat-to-ball pop, and steady defense
In the 2026 season, Bethune-Cookman freshman Janel Morrisey has already flashed impact-player juice: she earned SWAC Newcomer of the Week honors after an 8-for-13 road series with three doubles, a triple, six RBI, seven runs, and a perfect 5-for-5 in stolen bases. She’s been praised for being reliable at shortstop, handling pressure cleanly, and adding value everywhere—contact hitting, gap power, and aggressive baserunning. If you want a quick, athletic middle-infield catalyst with upside, she’s absolutely worth a look.
