Emily Darwin gave CBU a veteran, high-leverage arm in 2026
Emily Darwin, a graduate right-handed pitcher for California Baptist, looked like a dependable workhorse in 2026: she logged heavy innings, posted a 2.18 ERA through eight appearances early in the season, and earned WAC Pitcher of the Week after a 3-0 week with 15 strikeouts in 15.2 innings. Her calling card is versatility—she can start or close, fill up the zone, and compete under pressure. She’s a good fit for teams wanting an experienced, strike-throwing pitcher with real poise and late-game value.
