Cassidy Curd has help coming to the bullpen. Transfer pitchers Larissa Jacquez and Mallory Wheeler announced their commitments to Duke on Sunday.

Despite a 9-10 record with UIW last season, she had the lowest ERA in the Southland and the 12th in the NCAA at 1.65. Jacquez, who has two years of eligibility remaining, tossed a career-high 148.2 innings. She also had a 151 strikeouts to 59 walks and .208 batting average against.

According to our friends at 64Analytics, Jacquez had a 3.58 SIERA (Skill-Interactive Earned Run Average: A statistic that attempts to measure the underlying skill of a pitcher), which was on par with All-Americans Sam Landry and Robyn Herron.

Wheeler throws very hard and had decent numbers as a freshman at Louisiana. She had a 3.48 ERA and .262 batting average against in 136.2 innings.
