Anna Kemp is emerging as USI’s workhorse freshman with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Southern Indiana freshman pitcher Anna Kemp showed the makings of a durable starter, making 30 appearances, starting 17 games, and logging 101.1 innings with a 4.21 ERA, 66 strikeouts, and a 5-12 record. She has already flashed real bat-missing ability, including a six-strikeout outing against Villanova and a 5.0-inning win over Kansas City with four Ks. The upside: a right-hander who can take the ball often and compete. The watch-out: she’s still learning consistency, but the arm talent and workload are clearly there.
