A-10 Rookie of the Week Ava Farina brings freshman upside, versatility, and strikeout pop to Saint Joseph’s
Ava Farina has already flashed real value for Saint Joseph’s as a freshman pitcher/utility player, earning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week honors in March 2026 and showing the kind of early-impact upside coaches love. Her high-school resume included three-time All-State recognition and a championship pedigree at Orchard Park, with recruiting reports noting a perfect game and 39 strikeouts over four games in one event. At 5'5", she profiles as a competitive, multi-use arm with experience in big games, making her a strong fit for a staff that wants toughness, flexibility, and future development.
