Anne Long is USF’s ace and a postseason problem in the circle
In the 2026 season, South Florida sophomore pitcher Anne Long has emerged as the Bulls’ workhorse ace, earning American Conference Pitcher of the Year and repeated weekly honors after leading the league with a 1.77 ERA and going 14-1 in conference play. She stands out for her stamina and big-game poise: complete-game wins, a USF-record 14-inning shutout, and a knack for silencing strong lineups. If your team wants a durable, competitive right-hander who can carry a staff in pressure games, she’s a very strong fit.
