Long Ball Leaders
There are some BIG Booms going on.
Hopefully they got on the plane along with the players today.
Nora looks like she was on fire! Six of the Top 10 belong to her.

Said it can be mishandled or scoot through the infield.

What coach doesn't want the ball hit hard? Is a coach really going to say, I really want our team to hit it softly. I suppose an argument could be made that some coaches are more interested in contact and putting the ball in play, but clearly this lineup doesn't have a Kelsey Brown type slasher.

Some coaches will emphasize:
"putting the ball in play." - as you said
"slap hitting to get on base." - as you said!
- Actually Addison Foster was more of a slapper until her second year at Stetson. To be more accurate, she drag bunted, she slapped, etc. But she got away from slapping.
Where you might see if translate is the limited bunting we do. So, while it might sound "yeah, duh" or intuititive, it isn't necessaruily a given mantra. TO your point, it isn't abot "hard" or "soft", it is the approach to hitting

Pete told her she would need to work on hitting [like she does now...well].

is a season-long leaderboard. But Nos. 3, 4 & 7 are all new. So not bad that 3 of the top 10 came this week.

Kylie's did not have the distance in the Box score nor did anyone post iton the message board.

Kylie’s distance estimate looks about right for that one too but I thought it had higher exit velo than Nora’s as it got out of there so fast

assumed they were from practice because they were usually tweeted out late in the week, just prior to the next series.

I’m never sure when/where they happen?
