Texas Volts pitcher NiJaree Canady traded her cleats for heels as she stepped onto the red carpet in New York City for the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Annual Salute to Women in Sports.
The former Stanford and Texas Tech standout, who was selected No. 2 overall in the 2026 AUSL College Draft, enjoyed a trip to the Big Apple filled with memorable moments on and off the red carpet.
Canady gave fans a glimpse of her outfit transformation with a video transitioning into her evening look.
The rookie pitcher joined some of the biggest names in women’s sports for the annual celebration, posing for photos, connecting with fellow athletes and participating in interviews along the red carpet.
Earlier in the day, Canady visited the Major League Baseball headquarters, where she toured the offices and participated in media activities. She also made a stop at the MLB Players Lounge during her tour.
From the pitcher’s circle to the bright lights of New York City, Canady continues to make her mark on and off the field.
Her trip to New York came shortly after she signed with the Volts for the 2027 AUSL season. After making her professional debut this summer, the right-hander is set to return to Texas for her second season with the Volts.
