As Athletes Unlimited Softball quickly approaches, the rosters are complete with four new signees. First, pitcher Brooke Yanez will participate in the AUX and Championship seasons this year. Yanez pitched for the UCLA Bruins after playing for the Oregon Ducks and UC Davis.
The lefty appeared in 30 games for the Bruins this season, striking out 115 batters in 126.2 innings of work. She went 16 – 3 in 24 starts. Her list of accomplishments includes being first-team All Pac-12 with the Ducks in 2021 and making second-team this year with UCLA.
While at UC Davis, Yanez tossed 391.1 innings over 64 appearances as she had 463 strikeouts in two seasons from 2018 to 2019.

Next is another pitcher in Florida Gators right-hander Elizabeth Hightower. In her five seasons with the Gators (2019 – 2023), Hightower had a 2.46 career ERA with 426 strikeouts and 18 shutouts. It’s important to note that Hightower will be playing in just AUX this season.
