Duo helped Sun Devil Softball return to NCAA Regionals
(Tempe, AZ) Kenzie Brown and Kelsey Hall of Sun Devil Softball were each honored by the NFCA on Thursday by being named to NFCA DI All-Region selections. Brown was voted to the first team as a pitcher while Hall made the third team as the designated player.
This is the first All-Region honor for each player during their time at ASU. Hall was twice named to the All-Region team during her time at Boise State.
After sitting out last season with an injury, Brown developed as one of the top pitchers in the country in 2025. At the moment, Brown is third in the NCAA with 265 strikeouts and second at 11.77 strikeouts per seven innings. Her strikeout total is the highest of any pitcher in a Power 4 conference.
Brown had 18 strikeouts against BYU on March 6 to tie the ASU record for strikeouts in a 7-inning game. She ranks in the Big 12 top five in 11 statistical categories, including second by allowing 4.13 hits per seven innings, third with a 1.29 ERA, and fourth with 19 wins. Brown’s strikeout total is the 10th-most for a season in ASU history, and she has double-digit strikeouts in a game 11 times.
Hall opened the season in the starting lineup 277 days after tearing her ACL. Having started all 54 games this season, Hall is batting .325 with a .929 OPS. She leads the team with 47 RBIs, posting 53 hits with six doubles and 10 home runs.
In her sixth season of collegiate softball, Hall ranks 28th among players with 159 RBIs and 30th with 364 total bases. She is also 33rd with 152 runs scored and 39th with 40 home runs.
With these two selections, ASU has now had 68 players named All-Region a total of 114 times. Brown is the program’s 54 selection to an All-Region First Team and the 20th pitcher to be recognized. Hall gives ASU 17 All-Region Third Team honors while becoming the seventh DP honored.
This is the 19th consecutive season at least one Sun Devil has been named All-Region and the 28th time there has been multiple Sun Devils honored in the same season.
