Freshman lefty Aubree Hooks is already giving Indiana quality starts and ace-level flashes
Hooks has quickly become a rotation piece for Indiana, showing the poise of a pitcher who can handle big moments: she entered the Big Ten slate with a 1.31 ERA in 16.0 innings, then followed with a no-hitter against Detroit Mercy and a 9-2 record with a 2.32 ERA after a heavy workload against Iowa. Her differentiators are command, competitiveness, and two-way upside from a highly decorated Alabama prep career; she was a Top 100 pitcher, posted a 1.20 high-school ERA with 171 strikeouts, and also hit .350, making her a strong fit for teams needing a reliable, high-motor arm with upside.
