6-foot-2 Nevada righty Ainsley Berlingeri brings swing-and-miss stuff and lineup-changing upside
Berlingeri has already shown she can miss bats and handle pressure: as a redshirt sophomore in 2026, she posted a 7-3 record, 3.80 ERA, 64 strikeouts, 2 saves, and 77.1 innings for Nevada, while earlier earning Mountain West Freshman of the Week honors after striking out 11 in her college debut and finishing opening weekend with a 0.95 ERA. Her differentiators are size, a right-handed power profile, and proven ability to work both as a starter and out of the bullpen; the main watch item is command, since walks have occasionally pushed her pitch counts.
