Auburn softball adds Katelyn Hubley to pitching staff

Another piece of the Auburn pitching staff is in place as softball co-head coaches Chris and Kate Malveaux announced the signing of sophomore right-handed pitcher Katelyn Hubley for the upcoming 2027 season.

Hubley is coming off an impressive freshman campaign at Campbell, where she earned All-Coastal Athletic Association First Team and All-Rookie Team honors. Hubley joins Makayla Stephens (Georgia State) as one of Auburn's two transfer portal signees.

“Katelyn is a very methodical and calculated competitor,” said Chris Malveaux. “She brings experience as a leader in the bullpen along with a big-time hunger to get better. She is wired for success. She has a high ceiling developmentally, and she won’t stop until she gets there. We’re so excited to add such a great person along with her great family to the Auburn community.”

A native of Henrico, Virginia, Hubley led the Camels' pitching staff with a 2.28 ERA and a 19-6 record. She tossed 18 complete games, including five shutouts. Carrying the bulk of the workload in the circle with 163 innings pitched, Hubley held opponents to a .237 batting average. She was the lone Camel to finish with 100 or more strikeouts, and she led the CAA with 150. Her efforts earned her three CAA Pitcher of the Week honors in 2026.

Hubley finished in the top five in the conference in multiple categories, including complete games, ERA, starts, hits allowed per seven innings (6.3), innings pitched, shutouts, strikeouts, strikeouts per seven innings (6.4), victories and WHIP (1.28).
