Malia Jones is SFA’s power-speed corner outfielder with a big 2026 bat
In the 2026 season, Malia Jones emerged as a middle-of-the-order force for Stephen F. Austin, leading the team with 10 home runs and posting a .304 average, .585 slugging percentage, 40 RBI, and 30 walks. She brings legit impact contact and patience at the plate, plus enough athleticism to add stolen bases and cover outfield ground. The sneaky-good part: she also earned Southland All-Academic honors, which hints at a high-floor, coachable player who can handle responsibility. If you want a power bat with disciplined at-bats and upside, she’s worth a serious look.
