We have 2 coming in and I would expect a portal person perhaps (more...)

The two pitchers are Reagan Troy, a pitcher/third baseman from Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Virginia and pitcher Bree Carico from Appomattox County who recently threw a six inning perfect game versus Dan River, striking out 12 along the way. Reagan was ranked #31 in the Class of 2024 by Extra Innings Softball who was not only impressed with her as a pitcher, but also described her as “a strong hitter with a ton of power.” Her travel ball coach says “she will be a game-changer. Reagan has been a four-year starter at Broad Run and has recorded 173 strikeouts in 129 innings while earning first team All-Dulles District honors as a pitcher. In her freshman year at Broad Run, Troy was named Rookie of the Year after winning the batting title. Coach D’Amour: - "Troy has a good drop ball and can get her velocity to 67. She can also swing the bat." Bree is another Top 50 recruit for the Hokies, having been ranked #48 in the Class of 2024 (#34 pitcher) by Extra Innings Softball. She was described by Extra Innings as “a right-hander who throws a variety of pitches including a rise, drop and change-up with a fastball that sits around 60 mph. She was part of the Virginia High School Class 2 State Championship team and was dominant during the school season with an ERA of 0.00 while striking out 1.62 batters per inning.” “Bree has freakishly good spin and gets a lot of swing and misses against good hitters,” said Coach D’Amour. “She’ll continue to improve right away when she’s working with Josh.” ** Edited by VTChip at 5/23/2024, 1:50:19 PM

Chip: Do you know if McManus is now healthy? I know she was . . .

Unfortunately, they would never see PT with the talent in front

Is Masters still on the team?
GCHokieof91 05/23/24 01:16 PM ET
Sadly, Maci Masters has announced that she has entered the Portal
Hokie4Life_89 05/24/24 04:50 PM ET
Maybe Emory & Henry, or UVa-Wise. **
william floyd 05/24/24 08:47 PM ET
I suppose anything is possible
Hokie4Life_89 05/29/24 04:05 PM ET
Yes she is!**
VTChip 05/23/24 01:45 PM ET
That stinks but I definitely cheer them on in whatever they decide to do

Quick question, Mr. Chip. Is a 60mph fastball a bit slow for a prominent
ancient alien 2018 05/23/24 07:12 PM ET
Spot, spin, change of speed, speed in that order IMO. Velo not everything**

Throw strikes, change speeds. After having your timing disrupted by

It's very tough to be an effective P4 pitcher if you can't throw 63+.

Which Hendrix of Cuse and the pitcher for Grand Canyon showed **

That's what the Grand Canyon pitcher was throwing. She was

Pitching, whether baseball or softball,
GCHokieof91 05/23/24 07:49 PM ET
Not Chip, but that is probably why Pete mentioned her spin
Hockeydad 05/23/24 07:41 PM ET
Thank you sir.
RVAHokie05 05/23/24 01:44 PM ET
Agree on Mazz - just added more info to my answer above
VTChip 05/23/24 01:51 PM ET
Given Tech's need for improved pitching, I would like to see Mazzarone
dallasvt 05/23/24 02:14 PM ET
I don’t think hitting takes that much away from pitcher development
hokiepro 05/23/24 06:47 PM ET
A very respected college hitting coach says...
Hokie4Life_89 05/24/24 01:15 AM ET
Yep; a 1.5-2 hr workout isn’t uncommon
hokiepro 05/24/24 09:47 AM ET
100% Agree
Hokie4Life_89 05/23/24 02:31 PM ET
Clemson's Cagle hits and pitches pretty well - while rare, it can be done.**
Blobster 05/23/24 04:45 PM ET
Actually, Mazz was recruited as a hitter
VTChip 05/23/24 03:13 PM ET
She has outstanding hands & elite level hitting ability
hokiepro 05/23/24 06:50 PM ET
Think coaches would be open to whoever can do both AT THIS LEVEL. **
laphroaig 05/23/24 04:57 PM ET
Interesting about Rosenberry. I wonder if OSU pulled a bait and switch
dallasvt 05/23/24 04:52 PM ET
Didn't get it in writing.**
laphroaig 05/24/24 05:06 AM ET
Probably. She never batted...lol
VTChip 05/23/24 05:52 PM ET
Pete didn’t let her hit to keep
texashokie1 05/23/24 03:09 PM ET
Of course she can hit
Hokie4Life_89 05/24/24 12:55 AM ET
The stats don’t always show line drive hard luck outs

In baseball a starting pitcher can go every 4 games? In softball
