Jake Evans is a bat-first, all-around infield spark for Long Beach State
In the 2026 season, Jake Evans broke out as one of Long Beach State’s most productive hitters, batting .364 with a .483 on-base percentage, 12 doubles, 3 home runs, and 16 RBI while earning second-team All-Big West honors. He stood out for more than just the bat: he led the Beach in OBP and doubles, ranked near the top of the lineup in hits and total bases, and showed defensive versatility with 65 putouts, 44 assists, and a .965 fielding percentage. A steady, high-contact infielder with real offensive pop, he looks like a plug-in fit if you want production plus flexibility.
