Mercer’s veteran right-hander Katheryn Rearley looks like a steady, strike-throwing anchor in the circle
Rearley enters 2026 as a redshirt senior for Mercer with a proven track record of durability and command: in 2025, she went 7-2 with a 3.52 ERA, two shutouts, 36 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 59.2 innings, and she followed that with multiple strong outings, including a 2-hit shutout and a 5-game win streak stretch. Her value is less about overpowering velocity and more about poise, efficiency and getting big outs, though her 2024 injury history is worth monitoring for workload management. That profile fits teams that want a composed, dependable starter who can keep games in the zone and stabilize a rotation.[1][2][3]
