Saint Joseph's Rookie Pitcher with Elite Save Intensity and A-10 Rookie of the Year Honors
Freshman Marla Freiwald (now a sophomore) is Saint Joseph's most intense pitcher, owning a 3.35 ERA across 17 innings in the 2025 season while earning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year and two Rookie of the Week awards. Her differentiator isn't just stats—it's her ice-in-veins save mentality, highlighted by a 3-shutout-inning save in the team's first official 2025 game and a high school pedigree of 52-4 dominance. She pitches with relentless focus, rarely showing fatigue despite being one of four pitchers who each tossed 30+ innings. For your team, she's a perfect fit if you need a confident, battle-tested closer who thrives under pressure and brings championship DNA from her AAAA Pitcher of the Year high school days.
