Butler University Athletics

Arguably the most dominant pitcher in Butler Softball history, Esparza was named Horizon League Pitcher of the Year and NFCA All-Midwest Region in 2011. The two-time All-Horizon League first-team selection (2010, 2011) held Butler's career strikeouts record after only two seasons, striking out 575 batters by the end of her sophomore season. Esparza finished her Butler career with 789 strikeouts. She owns Butler's single-season record for wins (18) and strikeouts (307), and the single-game, seven-inning record for strikeouts (18).
