Chloe Poteete is giving USC Upstate a battle-tested arm in the circle
In the 2026 season, Chloe Poteete has flashed real value for USC Upstate: she opened with wins over Furman and Morgan State, and one conference snapshot showed a 4.20 ERA with a .143 opposing batting average in limited innings[2][3][13]. The bigger story is her pedigree and poise—she arrived from Marcus HS as a 2025 district co-pitcher of the year after piling up 500+ strikeouts in high school, which screams strike-throwing upside and competitive bite[6]. She looks like a fit for teams wanting a right-hander with upside, toughness, and room to keep climbing[4][15].
