I noticed that both are sub .300 hitters. This past season, we only had 5 starters hitting over .300 with 2 hitting at the lower end of .300. Hoping that Shellie can improve their swings and get them hitting over .300.

I’m sure that’s the plan
Re: Cajuns pick up 2 from McNeese
Not sure what's left in the portal, but they will no doubt have to get a few players with solid foundations and coach them up. We've got room to fill.

In 2023 Ardoin was a starter in 53 of 56 games and hit .288, she is going to be pretty good. She hardly played in 2024, wonder if that was injury related. I think she only played in a few games.

Played in one game. Went 1 for 2.
Both Ardoin and Otto are listed as outfielders on McNeese roster.
