LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Softball team announced that two-way player Addyson Frye has signed an athletics aid agreement to join the Wildcats, according to UK Athletics. Frye will join the program this fall with one year of eligibility remaining after spending the 2026 season with Providence College.
“Addyson is an incredibly strong two-way player that we are looking forward to having as a Wildcat,” UK head coach Rachel Lawson said. “She will add more power to the lineup and quality depth to the pitching rotation. Having played for elite coaches both in high school and the travel ball circuit, Addyson’s mind for the game is also top-shelf.”
Frye appeared in 29 games for the Friars in 2026, starting in 13 contests with six wins on the mound. The freshman pitcher struck out 59 batters during her debut season and did not commit an error in the field.
A standout from Neshannock High School in Pennsylvania, Frye accumulated 765 career strikeouts and earned Max Prep Pennsylvania Player of the Year honors twice, in 2024 and 2025. In her senior season, she was named a First Team All-American and earned 2A All-State Pitcher of the Year.
The addition of Frye comes as Lawson and the Wildcats look to rebuild after a challenging 2026 season in which the team finished 1-24 in Southeastern Conference play. The two-way player’s potential to contribute both offensively and on the mound addresses needs for the program as it continues its recruitment efforts heading into the fall season.
