PHARR, Texas – PSJA North Early College High School Senior Ariella Saenz has been ranked among the top 30 right-handed pitchers in Texas by SBLive.
“Saenz stymied lineups throughout the Rio Grande Valley this year in the circle and also proved to be a valuable offensive weapon. The Raiders’ ace ended the regular season with 145 strikeouts, a 17-0 record, no home runs allowed and as the state’s leader in earned-run average (0.18) after pitching 114 ⅓ innings,” read the article.
Last January, Saenz signed a letter of intent to play softball for Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Saenz will be graduating at the top of her class and plans to major in Business at Texas A&M University.
While at PSJA ISD, Saenz has been part of the Varsity Cheer, Varsity Softball, National Honor Society, and served as Student Council President. The athlete was also a part of the PSJA ISD Early College Program and earned an Associate Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from South Texas College earlier this month.
Congratulations Ariella!
