Through the first few weeks of the college softball season, Rutgers has been one of the best teams in the Big Ten. As the Scarlet Knights have gotten off to a 26-10 start Raimy Gamsby has set the tone on the mound in her freshman season.
In 79.2 innings of work, the Napa native has posted a 2.11 ERA and struck out 61 batters. Although this is the first season of her collegiate career, Gamsby has already shown that she can be the staff’s ace. So far this season, she leads the Scarlet Knights in ERA, innings pitched, and strikeouts.

Additionally, Gamsby has held opponents to a .223 batting average and added two shutouts to her resume. In Gamsby’s last five starts, she has only allowed more than two earned runs once. Over that span, she has shown excellent control and limited her walks.
While the season is far from over, Gamsby has made an immediate impact. She leads the Scarlet Knights in almost every pitching category and has not committed an error yet this season. Rutgers has a bright future with her in the rotation for the next few years.
