Emily Koranda is a polished two-way freshman arm with weekend-winning stuff for Missouri State
Emily Koranda has already shown she can anchor Missouri State’s pitching staff as a freshman, posting a 2.76 ERA, 104 strikeouts, 11 complete games and four shutouts in 160.0 innings in 2026 while earning CUSA Freshman of the Week honors twice and NFCA Midwest All-Region Third Team recognition. Her standout traits are control, pitch mix, and competitiveness: reports describe a low-60s fastball with rise, drop, curve and changeup, plus the ability to miss bats and work deep into games. That combination makes her a strong fit for teams that value poise, durability, and upside.
