freshman ace on the rise for Wisconsin
Berritt Herr made an immediate impact for Wisconsin in the 2026 season, finishing with 11 wins and multiple shutouts as a freshman while earning Softball America Freshman Watch List recognition. Her calling card is poise in the circle: she has shown the stamina to work complete games, the stuff to miss bats, and the competitive edge to close out ranked opponents, including a key win over No. 11 Oregon. She’s the kind of pitcher who can stabilize a staff right away, and her fast-track rise suggests real upside.
