Mark. Both you and I know there is not a pitcher on the Cajun team who is currently throwing 72 mph.
You've been fortunate in getting to see Montana Fouts pitch in person and hit that number over the last couple of years.
There's a huge difference between 67 mph and 72 mph.

As the most casual of casual softball fans, I'm confused. Do we have elite pitchers this year or not lol
UL has been blessed with many excellent pitchers over the years and I have been around for all of them (yeah, I know I'm old). Hard to select which ones are the best but Brooke Mitchell really stands out to me in my opinion. At her best she was incredible. Before her injury Ashley Brignac had the potential to be the best pitcher in program history. Even after the injury she was still a very good pitcher and one of my favorites.
The answer is no.
When one speaks of elite pitchers I think of most recently Rachel Garcia at UCLA, Kelly Barnhill at Florida, and going back a ways, Kalani Ricketts at Oklahoma, * Finch at Arizona, Cat Osterman at Texas and Monica Abbott at Tennessee.
In 2022 I see two elite pitchers, Montana Fouts of Alabama, and Gabby Plain of Washington. You can maybe throw in Sandercock of FSU.
I think Kandra Lamb will be an elite pitcher in the Sunbelt Conference. Nationally is a different story. I'm hoping she will be. But, to do it she's going to have to beat some power five schools and get the team to the world series.
