Canady appeared in 29 games for the Cardinal this season, going 17-4 while striking out a career-high 243 over 158.2 innings for a Pac-12-best 10.7 strikeouts per seven innings. The sophomore’s 0.53 ERA not only leads NCAA DI this season but is the best by a Pac-12 pitcher since 2002 (UCLA’s Keira Goerl - 0.48). Canady’s five saves are tied for the Conference lead, and her 9.72 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the third-best mark nationally. The Topeka, Kan. native has recorded 15 double-digit strikeout performances this season, eight of which have come against top-25 teams. Canady becomes the first-ever Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year for Stanford, and is one of 26 finalists for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award.
