Top 10 pitchers from the college softball regular season
3. Maddie Penta, Auburn
The junior ace has done all she can to carry the load for the Tigers’ pitching staff over the past two seasons, after practically reaching the 200 innings mark in 2022. With 170 total innings currently, Penta is once again on her way to a similar number. Penta’s ability to stay in games has continued into this year but an improvement on her all-around pitching effort has come to the forefront. The Auburn star has lowered her 1.76 ERA from a season ago to 1.03 this year and has held opposing hitters to just a .152 batting average in 2023. Finding ways to improve in her junior season, Penta seems primed to continue her efforts in the circle moving forward.
