Most teams will pitch to her at least once. Don’t believe she’s been

walked each time though. But then they have Chatfield, Lynch, Peck, Yaeger, etc. after her. After a few homers, most avoid her to the extent possible.

Of the year!**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:23 PM ET
So has anyone tried to just walked her every time?**
UTPr0sim 05/05/25 04:55 PM ET
This is a great reason she’s batting lead off instead of the 3/4 hole…..
HokiefromBedford 05/05/25 05:11 PM ET
Yeah, but leading of limits her RBI opportunities**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:23 PM ET
She has had a great season.......

If you don't have other players with good OBPs, continuing to lead Cori

I coined it to be "if it ain't broke, don't break it!"**

Odds are we win a couple of more games with a hitter like Lynch
VAHokie89 05/06/25 12:30 AM ET
I agree I would have hit her 3rd. I am going to look at losses
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:42 AM ET
Note Lynch got on base 64 times as of now. 17 doubles
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:23 AM ET
Look more closely at Villanova (3rd inning), UVA. Not about HRs
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:16 AM ET
29 of her RBI are her hitting herself in / She only has 30 other RBI
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:29 PM ET
I just looked at our losses below. And I only see the potential upside of
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:46 AM ET
nvm
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:15 AM ET
It does not even have to be a HR. I see Villanova, UVA and maybe a Pitt
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:01 AM ET
Looking at anything besides HRs opens a large
nkhooch 05/06/25 10:50 PM ET
Of course, but those were two situations that also illustrate the problem
VAHokie89 05/06/25 11:54 PM ET
VT’s record is 27-7 with her as the leadoff batter. **
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:42 PM ET
12-3 before. I post it below: 19 RBIs in 35 games that are not
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:58 PM ET
Cori didn’t start as the leadoff batter until game #16 this season
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:28 PM ET
I did not realize it was that far back. Interesting.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 12:45 AM ET
Thanks to both you.....
2hhoop3 05/05/25 07:45 PM ET
In 35 games since becoming leadoff, 19 RBIs that are not herself
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:53 PM ET
Even if you are off by one or two items they are definitely still quite

RJHokie 05/05/25 05:04 PM ET
Agreed. Though Peck has not been "dangerous" recently**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 07:11 PM ET
Right, until Sunday, Peck has had a weak (for her) ACC season.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:43 AM ET
Against a top 5 team too!**
