Spitfires Add Outfielder from Big 10

(Grand Forks Spitfires Media) – GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The Grand Forks Spitfires are excited to announce the signing of outfielder
Addie Craig from the University of Washington, continuing to build a dynamic and competitive roster
for the team’s inaugural 2026 season.

With a hometown of North Bend, Washington, Craig brings strong defensive consistency and athleticism to the Spitfires lineup. Throughout her collegiate career, she has demonstrated reliability in the outfield, recording a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage across multiple seasons. Her ability to read the ball, cover ground, and make difficult plays. This makes her a steady and trusted presence in the field.

In 2025, Craig appeared in 42 games, contributing offensively with 22 total bases while showcasing her speed and versatility. She has proven to be a player who can step into different roles and make an impact, whether that is creating opportunities on the basepaths or delivering in key moments. Her well-rounded skill set adds another layer of depth to an already growing Spitfires roster.

“I am super excited to be part of the first ever Spitfires team, to get to play the game I love, and see what Grand Forks is all about!” said Craig.

Craig’s energy, work ethic, and team-first mentality align perfectly with what the Spitfires are building heading into their first season. As the inaugural roster continues to take shape, players like Craig bring not only talent, but also the mindset and competitiveness needed to establish a strong foundation for the organization.

“Addie brings a strong defensive presence and a competitive mindset that will elevate our outfield,” said Roberto Lemus, General Manager for the Spitfires. “She is the kind of player who does the little things right and competes every single day. We are excited to welcome her to Grand Forks and look forward to the impact she will make both on and off the field.”
