Ava Farina is emerging as a useful two-way softball arm for Saint Joseph’s
In the 2026 season, Ava Farina has already shown she can handle meaningful innings for Saint Joseph’s: she went 3-3 with a 4.48 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 40.2 innings, and she was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week on March 3 after a 5.1-inning win over Binghamton. She looks like a competitive, pitch-to-contact arm with some swing-and-miss upside, plus the versatility to help the Hawks in multiple roles. The real draw: she’s already trusted in leverage spots, and that matters when you’re building a staff.
