Keli Harrell joins VSC after an extensive playing and coaching career in softball. Harrell was a four-year starter as a pitcher for East Carolina University. While at ECU, she set numerous records and became the C-USA all-time strikeout leader in her senior season in 2007. She fanned 948 batters in her career, while racking up All-Conference USA, All-State, and All-Southeast Region accolades. 

On her way to these accolades, she threw three no-hitters, became ECU’s all-time saves leader (14), threw 101 complete games, and compiled 32 shut outs. Harrell finished her career with 88 wins against 48 losses, with a career ERA of 1.84 in 894.1 innings pitched for the Pirates.

 Because of her collegiate success, the 8-time C-USA Player-of-the-Week was called up to play for the Michigan Ice, one of only seven teams in the National Pro Fastpitch League. After one season, her team dismantled, and she opted to play overseas in 2008 and 2009. She played a season with the Twins organization in the Netherlands and another season with the Superfund Wanderers out of Austria. While playing with the Wanderers, she traveled to Italy and played in the European Cup. She led the Cup in strikeouts. 

Harrell has experience coaching at many different levels, including stints at her alma mater East Carolina, Queens University of Charlotte, University of Louisiana-Monroe, Campbell University, and Daytona State College. 

The North Carolina native has a bachelor’s degree in Family and Community Services and a master’s degree in Sport Management. While earning her master’s degree in Sport Management at ECU, she served as a graduate assistant coach and helped coach Toni Paisley to Pitcher-of-the-Year and NFCA All-American honors. While working with the Pirates, the pitching staff led the league in earned run average (1.45), strikeouts (467), and wins (44).
