Mia Valenzuela is giving Princeton a freshman spark with pop, pressure poise, and all-around versatility
In the 2026 season, freshman Mia Valenzuela has quickly become one of Princeton’s most dangerous bats, hitting .367 with 7 home runs and 32 RBI while flashing impact power in big Ivy moments, including a Rookie of the Week honor and a six-game RBI streak. She’s a true IF/UT fit who can move around the diamond and still rake, which makes her especially valuable in lineup construction and late-game flexibility. What really stands out: she’s producing like a veteran, not a rookie, and she seems to thrive when the pressure gets loud.
