Sydnee Koosh gives UConn a battle-tested arm with upside in the circle
In the 2026 season, Sydnee Koosh emerged as a steady part of UConn’s pitching staff, going 6-7 with a 5.63 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 74.2 innings, while logging 14 starts and 25 appearances[1][3]. Her calling card is toughness: she threw a 6.0-inning shutout against Georgetown and posted a complete-game shutout at Boston College in 2025, showing she can handle pressure and string together quality outings[1][4]. Koosh also brings experience, a history of big strikeout totals in high school, and enough competitiveness to help a staff when the game gets messy[2].
