Book Jennie Finch for your event

Jennie Finch is widely regarded as one of the most iconic figures in the history of softball. Her career began at the University of Arizona, where she played for the Wildcats from 1999 to 2002. During her time there, Finch led her team to a Women's College World Series championship in 2001 and was named a collegiate All-American. Her dominance on the mound, combined with her leadership, made her a standout player in NCAA Division I softball. Finch's success at the collegiate level set the stage for her future achievements on the international stage.

Finch's international career is equally impressive, as she was a key player for the United States women's national softball team. She helped lead Team USA to a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Her pitching prowess and ability to perform under pressure made her one of the most feared pitchers in the world. Finch's contributions to the national team solidified her status as a global ambassador for the sport of softball.

In addition to her Olympic success, Finch also played professionally for the Chicago Bandits in the National Pro Fastpitch league from 2005 to 2010. During her time with the Bandits, she became the league's career leader in WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched), further showcasing her dominance as a pitcher. Finch's impact on the professional level was significant, as she helped raise the profile of women's softball in the United States and beyond. Her influence extended beyond the field, as she became a role model for young athletes aspiring to play softball at the highest level.

After retiring from competitive softball in 2010, Finch transitioned into a successful career as a sports commentator. She joined ESPN in 2011 as a color commentator for National Pro Fastpitch and college softball games, where she continues to share her expertise and passion for the sport. Finch's legacy as one of the greatest softball players of all time is cemented by her numerous accolades, including her induction into the National Softball Hall of Fame and her ranking as the #2 Greatest College Softball Player by the NCAA.
