Key-annah Pu'a brings proven innings-eating experience and a strike-throwing profile to SDSU's circle
Pu'a arrives at San Diego State after two seasons at Hawai'i with a 17-17 record, 3.55 ERA, and 193.1 innings pitched, and she was already being used as a heavy-workload starter there; that durability and experience make her a useful fit for a staff that needs a reliable innings option.[1] She also showed she can handle adversity in 2026, taking the loss in a midseason sweep at Nevada as SDSU’s circle absorbed two tough outings, which underscores that her value is tied as much to toughness and workload as to raw dominance.[2]
