Amai Hanta brings elite speed and clutch contact to NDSU’s infield
In the 2026 season, Amai Hanta was one of North Dakota State’s most efficient catalysts, hitting .429 in Summit League play while leading the Bison with 24 league hits, 13 stolen bases, a .529 on-base percentage, and a 1.065 OPS; she also earned All-Summit League Second Team honors. What makes her pop is the combo package: real table-setter speed, extra-base pop, and the ability to turn traffic into runs. She also carried an honorable-mention all-league nod as a freshman in 2025, signaling a player whose production and game impact keep trending up.
