Abigail Young brings veteran poise and big-game bite to Sam Houston’s circle
In the 2026 season, Sam Houston right-hander Abigail Young was a reliable rotation piece, appearing in 11 games with six starts, logging 36.2 innings, striking out 22, and winning two games while staying perfect defensively. What makes her matter is not just the arm but the résumé: she entered 2026 as a preseason All-Conference USA pick after a breakout 2025 campaign that featured a conference-best 1.66 ERA, an 8-6 record, and a knack for delivering in league play. She looks like the kind of pitcher who gives a staff steadiness, competitiveness, and a real chance to steal innings when the pressure spikes.
