Power-armed freshman left South Carolina after a promising SEC debut
In the 2026 season, KG Favors showed real upside for South Carolina as a true freshman pitcher, opening with a scoreless three-inning win against Winthrop and later throwing a complete-game victory over Marist while logging 13 appearances and a 4.12 ERA. She arrived with major pedigree—Perfect Game’s No. 18 overall prospect in her class, plus a decorated Alabama prep resume—and her appeal is easy to see: a live right-handed arm, strike-throwing potential, and the poise to handle pressure. She’s best viewed as a high-upside, still-growing pitcher who fits a staff needing competitive fire and long-term ceiling.
