Traelen Humphrey gives UAPB a Swiss-Army knife on the mound
In the 2026 season, Traelen Humphrey has been a versatile two-way piece for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, splitting time as a pitcher and second baseman while logging a 5.19 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 28.1 innings, with 17 strikeouts and 5 saves for the Golden Lions[1]. Her value goes beyond the line score: she’s been trusted in tight spots, including a late-innings save against Alcorn State and a scoreless relief outing to finish off Mississippi Valley State[2][3]. At 5-foot-3, she’s not overpowering, but she competes, fills multiple roles, and gives a roster a gritty, high-leverage arm with infield flexibility[1][2].
