Lena Elkins has become UCF’s steady right-handed bullpen weapon
In the 2026 season, Lena Elkins emerged as a go-to relief option for UCF, posting a 3.10 ERA across 40.2 innings with a .273 opponent batting average and a strong stretch from Feb. 26 to April 25 when she logged 28.2 innings with a 1.47 ERA. The right-hander has shown swing-and-miss stuff, poise in pressure spots, and the ability to give the Knights multiple clean innings—plus she’s already handled quality opponents and postseason innings. If your team wants a composed, battle-tested righty who competes and keeps games within reach, she’s the kind of pitcher you want in the circle.
