Two-way force Alyssa Balcom is one of Oakland’s most versatile bats-and-arms
Alyssa Balcom emerged as one of Oakland’s most valuable two-way players in 2026, hitting .400 with a 1.015 OPS and 10 RBIs while also handling pitching duties and continuing to log major innings for the Golden Grizzlies[8][1]. Her biggest differentiator is versatility: she can help you both in the circle and at first base/DP, and her career path shows steady growth from an All-Freshman freshman season to a larger, more productive role. She brings proven competitiveness and upside, but teams should note her pitching workload has come with some volatility in ERA and results[1][2].
