Delaney Jenkinson is Akron’s clutch middle-infield bat with real postseason juice
In the 2026 season, Delaney Jenkinson hit .246 with 8 home runs, 22 RBIs, and 8 stolen bases for Akron, and she delivered in big moments — including the go-ahead homer in Akron’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win. She brings pop, speed, and versatility as an INF, with enough on-base value to stay dangerous even when the slug isn’t landing. The best part? She’s a proven pressure performer, which makes her a strong fit if you want a gritty, competitive infielder who can change a game with one swing.
