Payton Knowles gives Seattle U a versatile, high-contact bat with extra-base pop
In the 2026 season, Payton Knowles has been a difference-maker for Seattle U, earning WCC Player of the Week honors after going 9-for-13 with six extra-base hits, eight RBI and a .765 on-base percentage in one weekend. He has shown real lineup flexibility, impact power, and clutch production, including a two-run homer, multiple multi-hit games, and walk-off-type run creation in conference play. For a team, he looks like a gritty, adaptable utility piece who brings energy, contact, and timely offense rather than just empty numbers.
