Leone gives Sac State a steady, high-leverage arm in the circle
In the 2026 season, Danyelle Leone has been a dependable Sacramento State pitcher, posting a 2.92 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 6 wins while also recording 2 saves. Her calling card is poise in relief and the ability to work big outs—she threw four shutout innings in a February win over Pacific and later delivered a six-inning complete game. The right-hander has shown she can both finish games and stabilize them, which makes her a strong fit for teams needing a calm, versatile competitor with proven late-game value.
