Lemley got better from year 1 to year 2. She also better from year 2 to 3 and she did expand her pitch repertoire going into her senior year. Her HR numbers improved in general. She became a good enough pitcher to be drafted by a professional league. So how much she improved can be debated. I do think that grein has more upside. Lemley didn't plateau but she was probably reaching the ceiling she could reach in college. Mazzarone did improve in certain aspects so you cant say she didnt improve. She isnt the same pitcher as last year. To say she didn't improve does her a disservice. She needs to continue to improve and go from adding strength/velocity to developing better control with more work and games started. Sure, questioning the staff is a legitimate exercise. I don't agree with the thought that grein’s emotions didnt make her a good fit. Did Rachel castine’s emotions after hitting the HR against alabama make her not a good fit? Grein was not an emotional basket case. She showed grit and emotion after finishing off georgia. Finally, lemley isn't so stoic. To make that something is just making something . Looking at someone doing better or growing somewhere else is a favorite past time of Hokies fans, especially on men’s basketball.
