JUNIOR (2026): Hopkins was the only player on the Fire roster to start all 63 games, all of them at shortstop. He saw 200 at bats, and posted a team best .395 average. His 79 hits resulted in five home runs, 54 RBIs, and 64 runs scored. He finished the season slugging .570, and got on base .502 percent of the time. This was aided by 35 walks, and getting hit by 13 pitches. He stole 25 bases and had a .932 fielding percentage. Accolades came like crazy at the end of the year, as he was named First-Team All-Sun Conference. He earned the title of Sun Conference Tournament MVP, and most recently a spot on the Avista NAIA All-Tournament Team after setting a new world series record for batting average by a shortstop (.678 | 11-16).
