Maddie Taylor has emerged as McNeese’s ace, earning 2025 Southland Pitcher of the Year honors
Taylor is a high-impact two-way fit for McNeese, but her biggest value is in the circle: in 2025, she went 18-7 with a 3.50 ERA, 138 innings, 64 strikeouts, and a team-best 37 appearances, earning Southland Pitcher of the Year, All-SLC first team, and All-Defensive honors. She also brings proven bat-to-ball value and versatility as a pitcher/first base option, plus a reputation for durability and big-game reliability after delivering a 10-inning shutout effort in a championship setting. If you need a dependable, award-winning frontline competitor, she checks that box.
