Siena’s Pedersen brings proven high-school pedigree and early college upside in the circle
Valerie Pedersen is an intriguing **right-handed pitcher** for Siena who already showed poise as a freshman in 2025, working 9.2 innings with a **4.34 ERA**, **2.07 WHIP**, and a season-best four-inning outing against NCAA Tournament team North Florida.[1] Her profile stands out more for pedigree and competitiveness than raw volume: she was a **two-time All-State**, **two-time Section IX Player of the Year**, and **two-time team MVP** in high school, helping deliver three section titles and a New York state championship.[1] That combo suggests a tough, high-ceiling fit if you want a battler with room to grow.[1]
