SAN LUIS OBISPO – Welcoming incoming talent to all areas of the field, the Cal Poly softball team recently signed five players to National Letters of Intent to join the program ahead of the 2025 season.
Set to arrive at Bob Janssen Field in the fall of 2024 are righthander Natalie Camarena (Enochs HS / Modesto, Calif.), catcher Maya Venegas (Covina HS / Covina, Calif.), infielders Alannah Tuua (Capital Christian HS / Rancho Murrieta, Calif.) and Sienna Erskine (Ocean View HS / Huntington Beach Calif.) and outfielder Maddy Bermudez (Hollister HS / Hollister, Calif.)
"We're excited for our 2024 class. We have some big shoes to fill with our outgoing seniors and feel like this class will help fill those gaps," 20th-year head coach Jenny Condon said. "We're bringing in pitching, defense, speed and power. The class of 2024 will help keep us competitive in the Big West Conference."
Natalie Camarena (RHP)
On track to become a four-year captain at Enochs HS and already a three-time All-Central California Athletic League first team selection and program Most Valuable Player honoree, Camarena finished her 2023 junior season with a 1.30 ERA and 158 strikeouts in 15 victories and 102.0 inning pitched.
Intending to major in agricultural communications, Camarena – at the plate last spring – hit .516 with five home runs.
Maya Venegas (C)
Venegas earned the second of two All-Valle Vista League first team selections as a junior in 2023 after batting .521 with an .854 slugging percentage and .545 on-base percentage and helping Covina HS to the CIF Southern Section tournament semifinals.
Set to become a four-year varsity starter next season, Venegas also hit .419 as a sophomore with seven homers and an .864 slugging percentage. Vanegas intends to major in kinesiology.
Alannah Tuua (IF)
In 19 outings for Capital Christian HS last spring, Tuua hit .300 with 16 RBI. As a sophomore in 27 games in 2022, she batted .352 with 12 RBI and 15 runs scored.
A .317 career hitter with 40 runs scored, Tuua is the daughter of former Cal Poly softball standout Shannon (née Brooks) – an infielder from 2003-07 – and Mustang football guard Julai Tuua (2003-06).
Sienna Erskine (IF)
A 2023 All-Golden West League selection as a middle infielder for Ocean View HS, Erskine batted .343 last spring with 18 RBI and 22 runs. She's also a two-time All-Golden West League second team honoree as a sophomore and, as a freshman in 2021, when she helped the program to the CIF Southern Section Division V title.
A .381 career hitter with 55 runs scored entering her 2024 senior year, Erskine intends to major in business administration.
