Utah’s workhorse lefty who pounded out a 2026 breakthrough
In the 2026 season, Hailey Maestretti emerged as Utah’s staff ace, posting a 13-8 record with a 2.53 ERA over 149.1 innings and earning All-Big 12 Second Team and NFCA All-Mountain Region First Team honors. She’s a crafty left-handed pitcher who can go deep into games, pile up complete games, and keep hitters off balance; her five shutouts in 2026 and first-team regional recognition as an underclassman say “big-game arm” loud and clear. If your team wants durability, poise, and a proven weekend starter, she’s absolutely worth the look.
