Gotta side with the reaction‑time guy here. The whole point was how fast it gets on you, not how many inches it has to wiggle on the way in. A 70 from 43’ is still on the hitter quicker than a 92 from 60’6”. The ball being bigger doesn’t magically slow time down, and ‘less distance to curve’ doesn’t make it easier to hit - unless we’re just making up physics now.”

Canady can’t hold a candle to Kavan. We’ve seen this head to head.

That isn’t true. Just look at are recruiting class

Heard on the broadcast last night that Mike White coached teams are now 14-4 against Jerry Glasco coached teams. Not gloating but just an interesting stat.

@Blake Munroe I have seen a couple of people, one of the being an insider for Texas, saying that the baseball program needs a lot more NIL support to stay competitive. Are you hearing the same thing? I had believed we made a big commitment to NIL last year and when we hired Schloss so this news was a bit surprising

This. Kavan, Kennedy and all the pitchers mentioned here are a big part of the rise in popularity of the sport. Kennedy got paid the most and yes she is dominant, but so are all the pitchers mentioned in your post. Kennedy is getting presented as the Caitlin Clark of softball and that she is not. She is part of the reason, but she is not the tip of the spear in that regard.

Brady Vernon and Justin McLeod are great follows on X. Softball America and D1 softball mag reporters.

@Gerry HamiltonWhere does Matas have to improve the most to be in the discussion as a late 1st round pick?

Works for me. I'll be here.

It’s been too quiet with the updates.

Totally agree. Citlaly went head to head against Canady and won in the deciding WCWS game. That’s no small feat.

Same thread this time next year?

Not for sure. He got that stat from another tweet from someone else but I can't find the origianl one I saw.

How many final two inning sets did Kavan pitch in CWS games? Or is this a two season total, all games?

You make an important point, would the Mt. Rushmore be specifically what they did at Texas, or what they did for their entire career? Because that greatly would affect rankings for some.

I think most of the softball news in on Reddit, but I'm old and it's difficult for me to navigate that.

So it’s 3 Duvernay autos (1 Ravens jersey), 1 Collin Johnson auto, 1 Brandon Jones auto, and then several other rookies of each in a Texas jersey. Would prefer to sell this all together to a Texas fan.

Kavan is getting all the accolades and rightfully so, but I also have to give props to Citlaly Gutierrez. I myself have been critical of her and didn't think she was a legit #2, but against Tennessee and Tech at the WCWS, she was lights out and gave the team a chance to win and that's all you can ask. And she did it with a smile on her face. Because of her outings, Kavan was able to get the needed rest to do what she does best.

Impressive stat right here:
