Sydney May is Fordham’s clutch rookie arm with postseason poise
In the 2026 season, freshman Sydney May emerged as a valuable two-way piece for Fordham, going 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA, 26 strikeouts, and four saves while ranking second in the Atlantic 10 in saves. She’s more than a stat line: May has already shown late-inning nerve, including a five-out save at Army on just 21 pitches and a bullpen rescue against George Washington. Fordham’s staff clearly trusts her in leverage spots, and her high-school résumé backed by 515 career strikeouts hints at real upside. She looks like a strong fit for a team needing a versatile, tough-minded competitor.
