(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I saw a podcast interview with her that I think @ricksj1 posted a few months ago. And your assessment seems right on. She seems like genuinely good person. I look forward to following her for the next 4 years. Amazing talent, for sure, but every indication is that she is a more amazing person.

 

I think all will agree that we've looked a little sloppy on defense so far. Last year the team fielded at .975. After 19 games this year we're at .973, so not much difference. Room for improvement, of course. I see the batting order being more dangerous top to bottom this year and the pitching depth much better. Time will tell if Ms. Oxley will be as good as expected, as she still has to prove herself. My educated guess is that she's going to have her moments, but overall will be excellent. Also, Rothrock is in better shape and Ava seems to have perfected her change-up and is a real battler. Team ERA last year was 2.93. Keagan was at 2.59, Ava 3.59. Rothrock had 101 BB's to 201 K's. Brown had 58 BB to 68 K's. I know the competition will ramp up considerably, but right now our team ERA is 2.15, with Keagan at 1.51 and Ava at 2.03. Rothrock has 5 BB to 39 K's. Brown has 10 BB's to 21 K's. Both strikeout to walks ratios are significantly better this year - at least so far.

 

Excellent!!
