Team USA Bio

Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) Head Softball Coach Robert Iamurri hired Jackie Traina as a volunteer assistant coach in Jan. 2016.

“We are excited to have Jackie working with our pitching staff,” said Coach Iamurri. “The presence of a 4-time Alabama All-American and USA National Player adds energy and competitive experience to a brand new program. It’s great to see a past local youth player become a mentor to the next wave of pitchers playing in Southwest Florida.”

Traina, a 2014 graduate of the University of Alabama, finished her collegiate career with 106 wins, making her just the third player in school history and ninth in Southeastern Conference (SEC) history with more 100 career wins. She also was named a Top 10 Finalist for the USA Softball Player of the Year award. Traina was named a First-Team All-American in 2014, making her the fifth four-time All-American in school history, and the only one to earn three First-Team honors. She earned her second career SEC Pitcher of the Year award in 2014, suffering just one loss in conference play en route to the team's fifth SEC Championship.

She also ranks third in career strikeout average (7.91), third in saves (10), third in games started (130), third in innings pitched (863 2/3), sixth in career opposing batting average (.199) and sixth in earned run average (2.03).

The Naples, Fla. native has also pitched professionally in Japan and is a member of the USA Softball Women's National Team. She has won a pair of International Softball Federation (ISF) World Championships silver medals and been a part of two squads that won gold at the World Cup of Softball (2012, 2014).
