Joe Washburn is Creighton’s spark-plug infielder with sneaky speed and timely contact
In the 2026 season, Joe Washburn hit .286 with 18 hits, 9 RBI, 4 doubles, and 7 stolen bases for Creighton, while also showing the kind of disruptive baserunning that shows up in box scores and frustrates pitchers[1][3][13]. The 5-foot-7 infielder was originally described by Creighton as a shifty shortstop with a .408 high-school batting average, plus elite speed credentials highlighted by 129 career stolen bases in Indiana, so he looks like a high-motor fit for teams that value versatility, pressure, and grit over flash[2][4].
