Rebel Outfielder Joins Kylan Becker on Texas Based Team
OXFORD, Miss. – On Saturday, Scrap Yard Fast Pitch announced its second Rebel signing of the summer, inking former Ole Miss flamethrower Brittany Finney to her first professional contract. Finney and her Scrap Yard teammates will begin their 19-game schedule on June 29.
Finney joins Rebel teammate Kylan Becker, who signed on with Scrap Yard Fast Pitch at the end of May. Finney and Becker played together in Oxford for three seasons, helping lead the Rebels to 115 wins, three NCAA Tournament bids and a pair of trips to NCAA Super Regionals.
After transferring to Ole Miss from Oklahoma following her freshman season, Finney provided pitching depth and power to the Rebel lineup through her first two seasons in Oxford. The righty turned things on during her senior campaign, developing into a bona fide No. 1 option in the circle.
The Wichita, Kansas native led Ole Miss with 18 wins on the season, ranking fifth in the SEC with seven victories in league play. Finney proved to be a put-away pitcher, racking up 129 strikeouts in 147.2 innings of work while walking just 31 batters. In addition to her pitching prowess, Finney continued to add pop to the Rebel lineup, ranking third on the team with eight home runs.
