Anjelica Selden

Anjelica "Jelly" Selden is an African-American, former collegiate All-American, right-handed softball pitcher originally from Vacaville, California. She was the starting pitcher and holds the career crown for strikeouts for the UCLA Bruins, playing from 2005-2008 in the Pac-12.

Selden was a standout player who eventually earned the 2004 Softball National Gatorade Player of The Year Award. She also owns high school national records for ERA (0.06; best mark ever) and shutouts (82). As a senior, her tally of 10 consecutive shutout victories is also an enduring record.

Selden began her career by earning 2005 Second Team National Fastpitch Coaches' Association All-American, All-Pac-10 and Pac-10 "Newcomer of The Year" honors. Her strikeouts and innings pitched were both new school records that remain tops for UCLA. Her wins and career best strikeout ratio (10.4) were good for school top-10 marks all-time.

Selden debuted on January 30, 2005 with a three-hit, one-run win, striking out 14 of the UCSB Gauchos. On February 27, Selden lost an 8-inning duel with Cat Osterman and the Texas Longhorns and combined for 31 strikeouts. During Selden's record breaking week of March 4–6, she registered a career best 23 strikeouts against the Ole Miss Rebels in a 14-inning battle, the Bruins eventually lost 3-2 in that game. The single game total was a Bruin record, second only to Debbie Doom's total of 25, and was tied fifth all-time in the NCAA Division I for a single game. In addition, the combined total of 38 with Rebels pitcher Mary Jane Callahan ranked second and now is 4th all-time for a single game. The next day, Selden threw her first career no-hitter vs. the St. John's Red Storm. The day after she pitched a second consecutive no-hitter, defeating the Fresno State Bulldogs. Each game was only one batter away from a perfect game.
