Cassidy Curd brings ace-level left-handed bite and big-game pedigree to Duke
In the 2026 season, Duke’s senior lefty Cassidy Curd showed why she’s been a rotation anchor: she finished 17-5 and was at her sharpest in statement wins, including a complete-game 10-strikeout outing against Ohio State and a shutout against Clemson. Her calling card is a real swing-and-miss profile, plus the poise to work deep into games when Duke needs an innings-eater. The wrinkle: her year also showed some volatility, so the fit is best for a team that wants a high-upside starter who can dominate when locked in and handle pressure like a veteran.
