With many moving pieces in roster adjustments happening behind the scenes, we've waited until there was a sufficient data set to start ranking players in the portal. While still quite incomplete (given only about 8% volume), softball and baseball portal '26 rankings have begun.

@lauryncarranco @FresnoStateSB @UNCGSoftball @ShroyerBrooklyn @LBSUSoftball @FGCU_Softball 5. @MiamiOH_SB transfer Presley Hosick (@PresleyHosick) completes our top five mid-major transfer pitchers. The senior spent last season at Minnesota after two years at Cal Baptist. Her experience and versatility will thrive in a program that consistently contends at the top of

@lauryncarranco @FresnoStateSB @UNCGSoftball @ShroyerBrooklyn @LBSUSoftball 4. Grace Taylor will pitch for @FGCU_Softball this season. Last season at Mercer, the senior went 6-2 in 19 appearances. The 6’0” right-hander has been consistent and reliable throughout her career, making her a strong addition to the Eagles' staff.

@lauryncarranco @FresnoStateSB @UNCGSoftball @ShroyerBrooklyn 3. Senior Isabella Alonso will be in the circle for @LBSUSoftball in 2026. Hailing from Cypress, California, she excelled in three seasons at Cal State Northridge. In 137.1 IP last season, she displayed excellent command, issuing only 34 walks. Of the 19 games that she started,

@lauryncarranco @FresnoStateSB 2. @UNCGSoftball transfer Brooklyn Shroyer (@ShroyerBrooklyn) was a star at FDU last season. She set multiple single-season records as a freshman in 2024 (251 SO, 22 complete games, 184.2 IP). Only a junior, the California native will be a major asset for the Spartans.

1. Lauryn Carranco (@lauryncarranco) is our highest-ranked mid-major transfer pitcher. The senior transfer will pitch for @FresnoStateSB in the upcoming season. She dominated in the circle last year, pitching 20 complete games, issuing just 37 walks, and recording three shutouts.

After much prayer and consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility remaining.

@GovsSB @Alanah04_1 @AztecSoftball @HawaiiSB 10. Two-way player Kasey Wolfe rounds out our top 10 mid-major pitching rankings. The junior impressed in two seasons at Presbyterian, accumulating 290 total at-bats and 200.2 innings pitched. Her ability to contribute on both sides of the ball will be a major asset for

@GovsSB @Alanah04_1 @AztecSoftball 9. Hannah Pitts was one of three transfer additions to the @HawaiiSB roster in the offseason. The redshirt senior played three seasons at Mercer, appearing in 86 career games in the circle. Pitts will bring valuable experience to first-year head coach Thanatharn’s staff.

@GovsSB @Alanah04_1 @AztecSoftball 8. Graduate student Savannah Jones is the second Coastal Carolina transfer to land on one of our top 10 mid-major rankings. The two-way player recorded over 100 at-bats and 50 IP in each of her last three seasons at Bucknell. The Indiana native will be a true impact player for

@GovsSB @Alanah04_1 7. California native Key-annah Campbell-Pu’a will pitch for @AztecSoftball this season. With just 28 earned runs allowed in 24 appearances last season at Fresno State, the senior is well-equipped to continue shutting down hitters in the Mountain West Conference.

6. @GovsSB transfer Alanah Jones (@Alanah04_1) is a strong addition in the circle. The senior from Muncie, Indiana, threw 22 complete games for Purdue Fort Wayne last season, proving that she can go the distance for the Govs in 2026.

@OmahaSB @taylor_sedlacek @grovesyy00 @IdahoStateSB @samihood4 @TXStateSoftball @AUSL_Volts A-10 Defensive Player of the Year Chloe Rhine (@ChloeRhine1) will play for Wichita State this season.
