Charlotte
In recent years, the Charlotte 49ers have been one of the best mid-major programs in the country, and just recently made their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite a Regional round departure, the 49ers showed their grit and determination for more success in the future.
With top offensive contributors Kassidy Krupit and Bailey Vannoy graduating, Sam Gress and Lena Elkins in the circle look to lead their team during the 2024 season. Gress owns a 1.91 ERA from the 2023 season after pitching 227.1 innings. After playing a grueling schedule all year long, the 49ers had notable wins over Georgia, Arizona State and Virginia Tech in 2023.
