Sara Pinedo is LMU’s rising arm: efficient, fearless, and already a weekend-winner
In the 2026 season, Sara Pinedo emerged as a difference-maker for Loyola Marymount, posting a 6-0 record with a 2.44 ERA over 60.1 innings, 47 strikeouts, and two complete games, including a shutout against Rutgers and a career-high nine-strikeout gem against Saint Francis. What makes her intriguing is the poise: LMU’s coverage describes her as “dominant” and “in complete control,” and she helped anchor a staff that earned conference recognition. If you want a pitcher who can miss bats, handle pressure, and give you starter-level competitiveness, she’s a strong fit.
