Grace Proctor is already giving SDSU reliable two-way upside
In the 2026 season, South Dakota State freshman/sophomore Grace Proctor has emerged as a useful P/1B with poise beyond her experience: she opened her college career with a pitching debut and later worked 5 1/3 scoreless relief innings against Columbia, and SDSU’s preview notes she carried a team-low 2.74 ERA after throwing 14 1/3 innings across a key March stretch. Her calling card is calm, efficient run suppression plus true two-way value, and her high-school track record—Pitcher of the Year, First Team All-State, 1.89 ERA, 129 strikeouts—backs the ceiling. If you want a competitive, versatile arm with a little grit and a bat/field bonus, she’s very much worth your attention.
