UC San Diego freshman Bella Settembro is already flashing starter-level poise in the circle
Settembro has made an immediate impact for UC San Diego in 2026, earning her first collegiate appearance on February 6 and later firing a career-high 6.2 innings against CSU Bakersfield, plus a seven-shutout-inning week that helped earn her Big West weekly recognition. Her calling card is composure and stamina: she can work deep into games, limit damage, and keep hitters off balance without needing overpowering strikeout totals. If you want a pitcher who competes with toughness, fills innings, and has already shown she can deliver in pressure spots, she looks like a strong fit.
