Maia Scholtens is UC Davis’s emerging bullpen weapon with starter potential
In the 2026 season, Maia Scholtens showed real upside for UC Davis as a right-handed pitcher who can swing games from the circle: she logged 34.0 innings, struck out 23, and finished with a 4.74 ERA and 1.88 WHIP, but also delivered clutch relief outings like a two-inning, no-hit save against Nevada and a three-inning win at Cal Poly. She’s attractive if you want a competitor with strike-throwing confidence, late-inning poise, and room to keep growing; her high-school resume also suggests a power arm with a true strikeout pedigree.
