Tennessee Softball 2023

Her hitting stats are very impressive, which leaves the question of whether her talent will show itself
against better pitching than she's faced the last couple of years in Conference USA.
Put Katie, Des and Brock in Conference USA I’m sure they put the same stats up. Big difference playing in the SEC. Everyone on the team had those types of stats in the first 3 weeks of the season until we started SEC and then you found out the true hitters and we only had 3. Looking at that list of players in the portal from the SEC only. I think a few of them would’ve been better pickups.Everyone loves the underdog story but typically mid majors don’t make an impact transferring to power 5. Power 5 going down to mid majors is were you see an impact.

I was told LSU Freshman Pitcher Alea Johnson is in the portal, can anyone confirm that? That would be the pitcher we are missing if that’s the case

In games against P5 opponents plus Central Arkansas, Mealer was 11/24. She hit a HR against Bama in two different games. In 2022, she was 4/12 and hit a HR against Mississippi State. Maybe it will be tough to be consistent over more games, but she has shown so far that she hits just fine against tougher competition.
 
Couple of prospects were in camp with Lady Vols this week from TN Mojo Gregory per twitter.
Avery Adcock, 2025. middle infielder, Hopkinsville, Ky, Christian County H. S.
Kenslee Gregory, 2026, catcher, Portland, TN, Liberty Creek H. S.

The catcher you want plays at Farragut

Payton Gottshall did pretty good


Moving down is for playing time
Moving up is typically for depth/development for later
