Emma needs to avoid walking batters

the two run scored in the 7 inning, all walks. She is running into the problem we had last year with our stud pitcher ( name escapes me) They throw hard but they end up in a lot of deep counts. They waste to many pitch throwing so far out of the zone trying to get hitters to case. The hitters foul off a ton of 2 strike pitches cause they see so many pitches She needs to avoid the middle of the plate. but attack the hitter. She doesn't need to live on the black of the plate to be effective

She clearly did not come up as a catcher. Either that, or like Pete, her

Pretty sure she was a highly ranked catcher coming out of high school. Also

Nobody watches HS softball except parents. No question she was a HS . .

When I saw HS I mean travel ball as well. Pretty sure she was pretty highly

This is the only answer that makes sense. She has never been good

She was recruited as a catcher.**

It's on ongoing issue. I've noted all season that she tries to 'pick' . .

No way is she being coached that way. It's being tolerated at best.
King of Hokies • 04/24/26 11:09 PM ET
