Q&A: Danielle O’Toole on returning to Hillenbrand Stadium, her Arizona career, Team Mexico, Athletes Unlimited, coaching and more

Former Arizona softball ace Danielle O’Toole returns to Tucson this weekend when Team Mexico faces the Wildcats (and New Mexico State) in the Bear Down Fiesta as they prepare for the Tokyo Olympics this July.

The left-hander pitched at the UA in 2016 and 2017, when she was an All-American, the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year and helped the Wildcats capture their first Pac-12 championship in a decade.

Nowadays, O’Toole pitches for Team Mexico and in Athletes Unlimited, the new player-centric pro league that launched last summer. The Upland, California native is also a volunteer pitching coach at Cal State Fullerton.
