Preslee Downing looks like a high-upside freshman arm with poise, polish, and immediate upside
In the 2026 season, Preslee Downing has already flashed why Oklahoma State trusted her early: she opened her college career with a five-inning shutout against San Jose State and finished the season with a 5-1 record, 4.48 ERA, 22 strikeouts, and three complete games. Her best calling card is a live arm and swing-and-miss pedigree — she was a top-15 recruit and posted 261 strikeouts in 162 1/3 innings as a senior at Owasso. She looks like a competitive, attack-the-zone pitcher who can help a staff right away.
