Mizzou softball has added South Carolina pitcher Nealy Lamb from the transfer portal, according to Brady Vernon of SoftballAmerica.

Lamb was the 2024 Big South Pitcher of the Year and Freshman of the Year with Charleston Southern. She also earned Big South All-Freshman and all-conference honors with the Buccaneers. Lamb was the first player in Big South history to earn those accolades in the same year.

During her freshman year, Lamb finished 12-9 and broke the school record in opponent batting average, allowing foes to hit just .176. She led the Big South with a 1.78 ERA.

As a sophomore at South Carolina, Lamb went 10-3 with a 3.26 ERA and 81 strikeouts between 16 starts and 13 relief appearances.

Last season, Lamb appeared in 34 games, 12 of them starts, and had 47 strikeouts with a 4.37 ERA.
