Baylor’s workload-eating lefty with legit ace upside
In the 2026 season, Cambree Creager emerged as a true tone-setter for Baylor, earning D1 Softball National Pitcher of the Week after going 3-0 with a 0.49 ERA and 17 strikeouts in one week, then following it with a historic 15-inning, 250-pitch marathon against Houston. She’s a durable, competitive pitcher who can miss bats, go deep into games, and handle the pressure-cooker innings that separate good staffs from great ones. The big question is health—her season was later cut short by a wrist injury—but when she’s right, she looks like a high-impact fit for a rotation that values grit and volume.
