Jada Phillips flashed real pop for LSU in 2026, then hit the portal
In the 2026 season, LSU catcher/utility Jada Phillips showed a promising bat burst, hitting .333 with four hits, five runs, four RBI and her first career home run in limited action, while also handling catchers’ duties cleanly with no errors. The big draw is upside: she’s a versatile 5-foot-4 right-handed defender who can catch and move around the field, and she delivered when LSU needed a spark against Auburn. The caveat is sample size and transfer uncertainty, so the fit depends on whether a team wants a high-energy, contact-plus-power depth piece with developing everyday tools.
