The sophomore ranked first among all pitchers in the nation in strikeout-to-walk ratio (29.80). She was also second in strikeouts, tied for second in wins, fourth in walks allowed per seven innings (0.39), tied for sixth in shutouts, 10th in ERA and 17th in hits allowed per seven innings (3.80).
Faraimo, who won four weekly honors during the 2020 season (three-time Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week and NFCA National Pitcher of the Week), was named a Softball America First Team All-American. Redshirt junior Aaliyah Jordan was also a Softball America First Team All-American, while junior Briana Perez was named Third Team All-American.
