Karissa Spring eats innings for Manhattan, flashing durability and a starter’s edge
In the 2026 season, Karissa Spring has been Manhattan’s workhorse, logging 27 starts and 150 innings with a 4.71 ERA and 87 strikeouts, and she’s shown the kind of durability coaches love—complete-game guts, heavy usage, and the ability to battle deep into games. Her value goes beyond the box score: Manhattan’s own coverage shows her grinding through tough outings, and she still delivered a seven-inning, four-hit shutout-style win over Quinnipiac in April 2026. If you need a pitcher who can shoulder volume and also give you two-way roster flexibility as a pitcher/outfielder, she’s a legitimate fit.
