Mary Peyton Hodge brings left-handed upside, but ASU freshman season was uneven
Hodge is a **5-foot-11 left-handed pitcher** whose value starts with deceptive spin and a live curveball/riseball mix that drew national attention on D1Softball’s Freshman Watch List. She flashed real upside at Arizona State in 2026 with 16 strikeouts in 25 innings, but her freshman year was uneven overall, finishing with a 5.88 ERA across 11 appearances before transferring to Missouri. Her ceiling is clear; the fit is strongest for a staff that wants a power lefty with room to develop into a higher-leverage arm.
