It’s a bit frustrating though. She has ELITE velo & movement

The hope being she could develop to the point she would minimize the walks, but as I’ve said before she’s just not consistent enough in the modern tiny K zone that’s being called. Some of her best pitches that really should be strikes tend to be called balls because of how many times she’s way off. She did improve some but it wasn’t enough to be counted on in the highest pressure scenarios I understand the desire for Pete and staff to have a 72-73 mph lefty with down movement throwing….shes so hard to hit

I heard pitchers can bid out up to 250k hitters up to 50k whatever

Good info. But, any pitcher that gets that will have to be able to carry a

You're more confident than I am. There's a paucity of effective pitchers.

UNC staff would be upgraded by any of our 3 for sure. But, I am pretty
nkhooch • 05/18/26 04:23 PM ET
I'm not sure we wouldn't be better served to move Mazz WAY down the list
JoesterVT • 05/18/26 12:56 PM ET
Right. She wants to hit. If there aren't any strong hitters who could

At this time, Mazz cannot and should not be considered the #1.**
KiloZulu • 05/18/26 02:15 PM ET
So you and Joe are not going to see if she improves in the offseason?
WestEndHokie39 • 05/18/26 03:42 PM ET
Agreed. The issue is what do you train at in the off-season
VAHokie89 • 05/18/26 04:51 PM ET
As I said, at this time. Can she improve? Sure, but she needs to hit the

I don’t get it either. I just posted a message of support on her IG.**
WestEndHokie39 • 05/18/26 03:44 PM ET
Maz is still the best pitcher on this team,imo**

On any given when MAZZ is ON…
