Zoe Prystajko gives Stanford a true workhorse lefty
Zoe Prystajko has emerged as one of Stanford’s most valuable arms, combining volume, swing-and-miss stuff, and big-game poise: in 2026 she posted a 16-5 record with a 2.50 ERA, 198 strikeouts in 142⅔ innings, and a .169 opponent batting average, including a 24-strikeout, hitless ACC sweep at Pitt and a 10-K outing against Cal.[2][4][8][9][12] Beyond the numbers, she stands out as a calm, competitive left-hander who can start, relieve, and close, making her a strong fit for teams that want versatility, intensity, and a pitcher who can carry a staff.[6][7][11]
