2022 SB and beyond.

Random, but I keep thinking back to all those games that we could have (should have) won in the supers or regional rounds. Wasn't pitching the main issue in all of them? (Auburn with J Wall, Oklahoma, Michigan, AZ State, and the regionals at LSU). Would a deepened bullpen have won us those games?

Natalie Fernadez and Vallie Gaspard were good ones they could touch and go slap or power slap.

I like hitters who CAN slap, but usually don't. I hate the philosophy of slapping which is generally to give up an out to advance a runner. I would use it only when the defense is playing deep on the corners.

I hate slappers for the record.

I like player who hit over 0.350 to 0.400, whichever flavor. The only issue I've ever had with slappers was what Steve called touch & go types, and only when you had a runners in scoring position, especially at third. A lot of those slaps didn't leave the infield which left runs off the board.

Using the bunt in baseball as an analogy; I hate the bunt, but a guy like Mickey Mantle was devastating as a drag bunter. Great speed, great power, and only infielders with a death wish played him shallow to protect against the bunt.

Slap with girls who have both speed and power, and don't telegraph the slap.

Some like the power slappers who can slap over the outfielders heads or in the gap. If you hit 400 then I guess it doesn't matter how you hit.

Problem with slappers is that they leave runners on second and third way too often, and are next to useless with two outs.

That's why I noted the "touch & go" type. I think Kendall Talley was a pretty efficient slapper this year.

Actually Kendall was a slapper at Lamar and she red shirted her 1st year here because Glasco wanted to convert her to hitting with power, hence the high leg kick.

Yep, but still slaps. A slapper can still drive in runs, but it's tougher if you're hits are coming between the plate and the pitcher.

LSPoo was pretty good at slapping Summer's drop ball!

We should have thrown rise balls.
