Angela Susan Tincher-O'Brien (born December 16, 1985) is an American, former collegiate All-American, right-handed softball pitcher originally from Eagle Rock, Virginia. She played for the Virginia Tech softball team from 2005 to 2008 and was a 2008 first-round draft selection for the NPF Akron Racers. She is a graduate of James River High School and a 2008 graduate of Virginia Tech. In 2013, she was hired as Virginia Tech's softball pitching coach where she owns numerous school records. She is the ACC career leader in wins, strikeouts, shutouts, innings pitched, strikeout ratio and no-hitters, while also ranking in several records for the NCAA Division I, where she is one of five pitchers to achieve 100 wins, 1,000 strikeouts, an ERA under 1.00 and average double-digit strikeouts for her career.
Tincher began her career by breaking the school records for season strikeouts and strikeout ratio. In addition, she also achieved the second best opponents batting average, which now all rank top-5 all-time. Tincher made her debut on February 12, 2005, defeating the Stetson Hatters with a one-run, twelve-strikeout performance. On March 25, Tincher tossed her first career no-hitter over the Maryland Terrapins.
For her sophomore campaign, Tincher was named an NFCA Second-Team All-American, All-ACC and ACC pitcher of the year. She broke her own records for strikeouts, strikeout ratio (both were top-ten for an NCAA season) and topped the opponents batting average list; her season ERA and innings pitched ranked second in the school books and now are top-five all-time. She also threw four no-hitters that year.
