Cornell left-hander Laney Freiband brings strike-throwing upside and Academic All-Ivy value
Freiband is a 5-foot-10 Cornell pitcher whose value is less about eye-popping volume right now and more about a solid, developing arm with proven flashes—she logged 21.1 innings as a freshman, struck out eight, and earned her first collegiate win with 6.1 scoreless innings against Brown. She was also recognized as an Academic All-Ivy selection, and her prep resume included first-team all-league honors and three league titles, suggesting a high-floor, coachable competitor who fits a program that values command, competitiveness, and academics.
