Sophia Cardinale brings elite prep pitching pedigree to Santa Clara
Cardinale arrives at Santa Clara as a **right-handed pitcher** with a proven high-school track record: a 25-10 career record, a **1.06 ERA**, and more than 300 strikeouts across three varsity seasons, including a 169-K sophomore year and a 141-K junior year[2]. She was also an all-league, championship-caliber arm who helped lead her team to a CCS Division I title and a NorCal runner-up finish[2][3]. For a staff needing a competitive, strike-throwing pitcher with big-game experience, she profiles as a strong fit[2].
