MSU’s lefty ace who delivered the signature shocker
In the 2026 season, Delainey Everett emerged as Mississippi State’s emotional spark plug and a high-upside left-handed pitcher, highlighted by a three-hit shutout of Oklahoma in the super regionals to send the Bulldogs to their first Women’s College World Series. Her calling card is poise under pressure, plus a feel for big-game moments that goes beyond the box score; she also brought added value as a hitter earlier in her career. The big caveat is workload/injury context: she returned from shoulder surgery and was used carefully, so the fit looks best for teams that value toughness, savvy, and upside over sheer volume.
