Ava Sliger is emerging as a steady, swing-and-miss arm for Wichita State
In 2026, Ava Sliger has taken a clear step forward for Wichita State, posting a 3.42 ERA with a 9-1 record over 77.2 innings, and she has already logged eight starts with 25 strikeouts and 15 walks[7]. She also has complete-game ability and has shown she can “go the distance,” which matters for a staff that needs innings as well as poise[1][8]. The fit is strong if you want a right-handed pitcher with durability, competitiveness, and early-career upside; the caution is that her workload and command profile still suggest development is underway[7].
