Sophia Pinedo brings early-impact steadiness to USD's infield
In her 2025 freshman season, Sophia Pinedo emerged as an immediate contributor for San Diego, starting 10 of 15 games, earning All-WCC Freshman Team honors, and hitting .300 with a strong defensive profile at shortstop, where she committed just two errors while helping anchor the infield. She stands out for polish beyond the box score: a captain-type presence, high academic pedigree, and the kind of reliable glove-and-contact skill set that makes her a fit for a team needing composure, consistency, and low-mistake defense.
