Steady, fast, and versatile: Olivia Pignatello brings a captain’s edge to Holy Cross
Pignatello enters Holy Cross as a high-IQ, contact-oriented outfielder whose calling cards are **speed, range, and steady competitiveness**; Holy Cross specifically praised her “consistent demeanor” and said her outfield defense and ability to be a “force at the plate” separate her from peers. She arrived with a decorated prep résumé — four-time All-CVC, over a .400 career batting average, and captaincy experience — which suggests a ready-made role player who can contribute immediately if you need reliability, athleticism, and a calm presence in the lineup and clubhouse.
