veteran right-hander with proven strikeout bite and a winning track record
Natalie Herrington brings real mound credibility to Southern Miss: in 2024 at Pearl River CC, she went 15-6 with a 1.51 ERA, 129 strikeouts and just 26 walks in 143 innings, earning MACCC Pitcher of the Year honors and NJCAA All-American recognition; Southern Miss also lists her as a senior RHP in 2026. Her game reads like a coach’s checklist—strike-throwing, innings-eating, competitive, and battle-tested—and her local ties plus experience in pressure spots make her the kind of fit who can stabilize a staff and give a team a dependable, high-intensity arm.
