These girls just need good coaching.

What positions do they play?

INF and OF

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

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.
