IMO, softball is one of the few 'premier' athletic programs at Tech. But
what does Coach Pete need to do to advance the program to the next level (consistent top 10 or even top 5)?

Keep adding good pitchers along with our other stellar players. Avery is
really coming on. It would be nice to have another Avery next year.

You HAVE to get a top 5 type pitcher like the the one in VA going to UT-K
Kaylee Hodges (Matoaca): 2024-25 Gatorade Player of the Year, with a 0.07 ERA and 244 strikeouts. So many elite VA pitchers have left the state like Kathryn Sandercock, Valerie Cagle, Peyton St. George . . . Of course VT had the best of all time in Angela but we didn't have the offense and development we do now under Coach Pete.

VT (but not Pete) also 'missed' on Jaylin Ford, Megan Good, and . . .
. . . Oddici Alexander. All All-Americans any of whom would take the current VT team to OKC if available now.

Coach Pete needs to manage a pitching staff not just ride 2 aces
Getting Layton good work and she holding her own (outperformed Bree actually this weekend) should give him confidence to use her an inning or two here and there as needed. She could probably beat many 4 seeds if we’re tonight for example. Not saying we take it for granted but she can be utilized and get outs

I think Pete is already trying to have more good pitchers. And play them.

Looking forward to Fall ball with regard to pitching staff boost

Well, if Pete plays the Fall schedule he did this past Fall you will not .
. . . learn a thing and neither will the VT pitchers.
