Brooke Bowling gives Charlotte a battle-tested right arm in the circle
In the 2026 season, Charlotte redshirt senior RHP Brooke Bowling has been a workhorse starter who can handle pressure, with wins over Western Carolina and UAB and multiple outings where she escaped jams when runners were on base. Her value is the combination of experience, toughness, and strike-throwing in big spots; the downside is some volatility, as a few starts have come with elevated walks and runs allowed. If a team wants a seasoned pitcher who competes hard and won’t flinch in tight games, she’s worth serious attention.
