Radford’s steady veteran arm with big-game grit
In the 2026 season, Abby Peace gave Radford valuable late-game innings, making six appearances and logging 6.2 innings while finishing her Highlanders career in the program’s top 10 for saves[1]. She profiles as a composed right-handed reliever who can survive tough spots, including scoreless relief against a top-10 Tennessee team and a two-strikeout outing versus Penn State[1]. The appeal here is poise and leverage-value: not flashy, but the kind of pitcher coaches trust when the temperature rises.
