STANFORD, Calif. – Paul A. Violich Director of Softball Jessica Allister has announced the addition of Ava Bulanti to Stanford's incoming class of 2029. Bulanti joins the seven-person class announced in November.
A local product, Bulanti attended Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, winning the WCAL three-straight years and the CCS Open Division in 2024. The right-handed pitcher earned a WCAL All-League selection in 2024. Bulanti is a two-time winner of the Livermore Stampede (2023, 2025) and was selected as the 2025 Charlie Foscalina Tournament MVP.
Last year, she was named to the Top 65 Bay Area Softball Player Rankings by West Coast Preps.
Her father, Bill, played third base at the University of San Francisco.
The 2025 Cardinal squad is at Stanford Stadium this weekend, saying farewell to the senior class on Sunday against No. 25 Virginia.
