2022 JMVCAJUNS Softball Outlook

[RayneCajun]

Thanks for the overview JMV, should be a fun team to watch. Glad I'm not the coach having to make the lineup, too many choices!!
But my heart sank every time I read "Coach Robe"


Geaux Cajuns!!!

I don't see a lot differently.

I, maybe, am not as sold on Vanessa Foreman as you are. I just don't think she throws hard enough.

It will be interesting to see what happens at shortstop.

As I stated earlier, I really think Taylor Roman is going to have to heal up more than she has. I think, at designated player, if Carly Heath is not playing in the outfield, she may be a better choice because she's 100% healthy. If Stormy is not on the field, she'll be an option as well.

Frankie did not play during fall ball because of injuries. Glasco has so many freshmen capable of playing in the outfield, I don't see Frankie breaking into the lineup until maybe the middle of the year.

Foreman is throwing a few miles per hour harder but she will never blow it by anyone. Her biggest improvements with Jut is her mental make up, confidence, pitch selection and she has greatly improved her movement. She will be a situational pitcher or a one time thru the lineup pitcher.

As for shortstop it will be Langeliers or Mayeux. If it is Langeliers then Mayeux will be at 1st.

Thanks for the information JMV. We seem to have a lot of young talent that bodes well for the future. Looking forward to the upcoming season.

Decent summation of the team. Sophie will force the team to be its best because she will work very hard at being her best. Karly Heath will be a great pitcher and will reach 72 mph. Vanessa Foreman took lessons from Kyla Hall last summer and changed her delivery because of that. She is our only left handed pitcher. Melissa Mayeux stayed here during Christmas break and worked hours and hours EVERY day. She will be a slugger. Ari Quinones is a better second baseman than Stormy Kotzelnick. Who knows where Stormy will play?
Gerry will change the lineup a lot at the beginning of the season. Whoever practices harder will be on the field. They will all practice hard, Gerry will have a really difficult time. He came in four years ago wanting to have a pitching staff with a starter, reliever and closer. We may see that this year. He says none of the pitchers will have 30 wins, the games will be divided pretty evenly amongst the three or four pitchers, with each having 10 to 15 starts. What a luxury! It is an exciting time to be a Cajun Softball fan.

Whoever practices harder will be on the field? Probably whoever produces will be on the field.

Nice post. However, there are a couple of things I don't see happening. First, there may be only two or three pitchers across the nation who will throw 72 miles an hour consistently. Heath will not be one of them. Nice thought, though.

Secondly, I don't think the player who sees the most playing time on the field, where the position is competitive, will be the one who practices the hardest. I think the position will go to the player who hits better than the other player or players.

Finally, I heard what you heard. Glasco says he'd like to have three pitchers who each start 10 to 15 games. History shows there's always been one pitcher who gets more innings than the others. I have to believe one pitcher is going to start 20 to 25 games. We'll just have to see how it all shakes out.

I hope the kids are vocal in the dugout this year. It’s fun when the ladies rally to support each other at the plate.

History shows usually one pitcher will seperate themselves from the others, especially in softball.Like Mr. Roarman said we will have to see how it shakes out. Mr. Looney Lou can you give us your breakdown of the roster and how you think everything will shake out?

Thanks for the information JMV. We seem to have a lot of young talent that bodes. Looking forward to the upcoming season. Just hope this young talent can gel quickly and grow up fast. Age brings wisdom, youth brings excitement. Hope we have enough wisdom to corral all the excitement this team should provide.
