She is a pitcher/infielder. She throws 82 mph and is right-handed. The article says that there have been 16 females on college baseball rosters before but this is the 1st one at a Div. 1 school.

I would have thought that you werent allowed play after a certain age. Maybe only in NCAA? If not the first 56-y/o junior college baseball player, he's probably the 1st one to miss practice because of a cardiologist appointment.

Thanks, really cool article. I'm also 56 and considering getting into an over 50 baseball league, so it is some inspiration.

Well the article inspired me anyway...I just contacted two leagues in my area about joining. I'm not sure if I will do it. Been a long time since i played baseball

Her name is Olivia Pichardo and she just had her first appearance in a game yesterday. It was as a pinch hitter and, unfortunately, she grounded out. D1Baseball said they'll do a story on her next week. I will try to remember to look for it.
