Oregon player named finalist for USA Softball’s National Player of the Year award

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon softball’s junior pitcher Lyndsey Grein was announced as one of 10 finalists for USA Softball’s National Player of the Year award on Wednesday.

USA Softball selects a Collegiate Player of the Year based on performances throughout the season. Grein is the fifth player from Oregon to make the finals and the first to be named in a decade- the most recent being Cheridan Hawkins (2015).

She is 26-2 on the season with a 1.93 earned run average and has appeared in 43 games this season. Grein is 5-0 with a 0.00 ERA this season against five of the top 25 teams.

Grein ranks in the top 20 in the nation in strikeouts (194, 15th), strikeouts per seven innings (9.1, 13th), fewest hits allowed per seven innings (4.24, ninth) and WHIP (0.99, 18th).
