Bommarito has emerged as Oakland’s ace, bringing swing-and-miss stuff and big-game poise
In the 2026 season, Kenna Bommarito developed into one of the Horizon League’s top arms, earning multiple Pitcher of the Week honors and finishing as the conference leader in ERA (3.38) while ranking second in strikeouts (131) and wins (11).[2][4][9] Her calling cards are command, durability, and a true workhorse mentality—she logged 136.2 innings, posted 15 outings with five or more strikeouts, and also showed she can help with the bat in key moments, a nice little bonus for a team looking for a tough, high-upside competitor.[9][3]
