We don't rely on HRs. We had a very good season

HRs only represent 13.4% of our method of getting on base. We don't rely on it. I would look at the doubles, singles, and walks. We get on base via singles, doubles, triples, and walks 86% of the time. You are right in that we may not have a superstar hitting like a Cori McMillan, but we have very good hitters. We will finish in the top 20, we lost less than 15 games. This has the makings of a very good team. Note how many new players were at positions: Addison Foster, Mizelle, Abromavage, Layton

About pitching, just can't be giving up a lot of walks, as good as a base

Bree was still good, until her injury in the ACCT.**

Correct. I wish this misconception would die.**
WestEndHokie39 05/17/26 05:00 PM ET
Agreed. Just because we hit HRs does not mean that is end goal
VAHokie89 05/17/26 05:47 PM ET
Except that it is our end goal at least according to our coach. He even has
