Big South Pitcher of the Year Dominates with Elite Intensity and Consecutive Honors
Dakota Redmon, Radford's sophomore right-handed pitcher/infielder, is the 2026 Big South Pitcher of the Year—the first in the league to win consecutively since 2021-22. Her differentiators include elite intensity (27th nationally in complete games, 16th in shutouts) and a 2.79 ERA with 104 strikeouts over 135.1 innings. Beyond stats, she thrives under pressure, twirling 8-strikeout gems and earning her third BigWeekly award, while her personality shines as a defense-dependent leader who elevates teammates. With a .322 batting average and .950 OPS as an infielder, she offers rare two-way value. No injury history reported; her consistency and intensity make her a perfect fit for any team seeking a high-impact, reliable ace who delivers in clutch moments.
