UCLA standout Megan Faraimo, who was selected second overall in the 2023 Athletes Unlimited Softball Draft, has signed to compete in the 2023 AUand Championship Softball seasons.

Faraimo is a three-time USA Softball College Player of the Year Finalist and two-time Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year (2023, 2022). Her name is etched into the UCLA record books for: single-season saves (1st – 7); career strikeouts (3rd – 968); and career wins (6th – 96).

She was also named to the USA Softball Women’s National Team for the WBSC World Cup, which will be held July 11-15 in Dublin, Ireland.

Faraimo joins fellow draftee Sydney McKinney out of Wichita State, who signed last week with the league.

AUX begins on June 12, followed by the fourth Championship season, which begins July 28 at Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont, Ill. Tickets for both seasons are available to purchase at auprosports.com/tickets.
