SEVEN PITCHERS ON CARDS SOFTBALL ROSTER FOR 2025
With Louisville Softball about two weeks away, let's take a look at the pitchers that Holly Aprile will have to choose from in the upcoming season. The list is as big as I can ever remember seeing for a UofL Softball roster, seven players are listed in the pitcher designation...with a freshman, three sophomores, a junior and two seniors.
Returning from last season is ace junior Alyssa Zabala. She went 18-16 in the circle for the Cards and had 38 appearances in Louisville's 52 games. No doubt Cards head coach Holly Aprile will lean heavily on her again in the 2025 season.
Brooke Gray had a promising freshman season for the Cards in the circle, getting four wins , two of them shutouts, in 23 appearances in the circle. She registered 34 strike outs in 54 innings of work, She came in with high honors as Kentucky's Miss Softball in 2023.
Sam Booe is a senior who totaled three wins and two saves for the Cards as a junior in 22 appearances. She was second high on the roster with strike out last year with 50 in 46 innings of circle time.
Izzy Harrison transferred to Louisville from Kentucky in 2024 and had eight appearances for the Cards. She had 17 strikeouts in 13.2 innings of work.
Lindsey Mullen made nine appearances as a freshman for the Cards last season. She got a win in her only start, against Georgetown College.
Katie Thatcher is listed as a sophomore pitcher/outfielder but spent 2024 as an outfielder only. She did go 19-3 in her high school senior season in the circle at Rock Falls, IL H.S.
Ryann Sanders is a freshman on the squad this season and comes in from Bentonville, Arkansas. She was a Max Preps softball All-American.
It is a solid, veteran staff that recorded 26 of the Cards 27 wins last season. Zabala looks to be the ace of the staff again, but we'll watch with interest the rest of the staff, especially Gray, who was all-everything in Kentucky high school softball in 2023 and has a strong arm.
The Cards begin the season Feb 7th., in Leesburg, Florida
We'll have more on the team as the season draws nearer. we also hope to bring you an interview with head coach Holly Aprile coming up in the next couple of weeks.
