Olivia Trout brings two-way juice and proven poise to Samford’s circle
Olivia Trout is a useful, multi-dimensional left-handed pitcher for Samford who has already flashed real upside: she threw a seven-inning no-hitter in 2025 and earned a win over Western Michigan in 2025, while also giving the Bulldogs innings in relief and spot starts in 2026. Samford’s roster notes show she finished the 2024 season at Birmingham Southern with an 8-7 record and a 3.45 ERA, then arrived with a track record of being tough in big moments. She looks like the kind of competitor coaches trust because she competes, can miss bats, and adds flexibility if you want a pitcher who can do a little bit of everything.
