Grace Johnson keeps Portland State’s offense humming from the top of the lineup
In the 2026 season, Grace Johnson has been the Vikings’ table-setter and one of the Big Sky’s most efficient leadoff threats, batting .371 in conference play and entering the season’s stretch run with a team-best .357 average, 46 hits, 24 runs, 19 walks, and a perfect 15-for-15 on stolen-base attempts. She’s more than a slap-and-run specialist: she posted a nine-game hitting streak, broke Portland State’s Division I-era career stolen-base record, and has repeatedly shown she can pressure defenses with contact, speed, and consistency. If your team wants a scrappy, high-IQ catalyst, she fits the bill.
