Total Miami Dominance!
4/5 performance based individual awards and 8 first team selections lol
There are 3 interviews today on MURedHawks.com with Coach Kumar and star pitchers Addy Jarvis and Madilyn Reeves.
So Jarvis was named 1st team All-MAC and Reeves was named Freshman pitcher of the year. Who is our #1? It seems Kumar went with Reeves as our #1 in the second half of the season.
Good question but whoever it is, we have two aces so we can get farther than before as both pitch like #1’s. In the NCAA back to back games that likely aren’t run rule games will add up on a pitcher.
It is a good “problem” to have.
She’s got a highly successful JC transfer coming in next season to replace one of the transfer grads we’ll lose after this season.
I believe Reeves will go in as the number 1 over Jarvis, but there’s not much of a gap and I expect they’ll be used interchangeably depending on who has the hot hand. It won’t be like last season where Pratt was our only playable pitcher. I wouldn’t expect to see Hitchcock outside of run rule type scenarios.
A good friend–a MU grad/men’s soccer player–has a granddaughter who is in 9th grade and is a softball pitcher. Her pitching coach is also Maddie’s pitching coach in the Chicago burbs. He commented about Maddie and called her a “phenom”. High praise for a pitching expert. She will probably be our #1 next season, if she isn’t already.
