Workhorse lefty with power stuff and proven run prevention
Larissa Jacquez is a high-upside Duke transfer who built her reputation at UIW as a durable, strikeout-heavy starter: in the 2025 season, she led the Southland Conference with a 1.65 ERA, 151 strikeouts, 148.2 innings, 12 complete games and 6 shutouts, earning all-conference honors.[1][3][9] What makes her stand out is the combination of volume, stamina and swing-and-miss stuff—she has shown she can carry a staff, work deep into games, and miss bats at a national-level rate, though her 2026 start at Duke has been more uneven than her UIW peak.[1][2][4]
