Top 10 freshman NCAA softball players during 2024 season
2. Keagan Rothrock, RHP, Florida
Rothrock was arguably the top incoming freshman pitcher this season and she has certainly lived up to the billing thus far at Florida. The Gators are a top-10 team in the country thanks to a strong lineup led by senior Skylar Wallace in addition to a talented freshman pitching duo that includes Rothrock and Ava Brown. This season, Rothrock has gone 17-4 for Florida, hurling 14 complete games. The 5-foot-10 Indiana native has a 1.52 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP, putting up 126 strikeouts across 129 innings as opponents have hit just .156 against her. The Gators should certainly be a postseason threat in a little over a month, particularly if Rothrock can continue her dominance.
