I hope I an not jinxing our softball team but, our softball team so far is having phenomenal season in not walking the opponent. So far MSU is walking less than 1 batter per 7 innings. I think think they have undergone a change in pitching philosophy with a new pitching coach. Also the defense seems to be better and perhaps the pitchers are more confident throwing strikes and pitching to contact though the strikeout stats are down a bit 6.5 per 7 innings in 2024, 7.4 strikeout in 2023. Hope this continues into SEC play.
