They needed offense and she can supply it. Impressive in the regional, and she didin't wind up at OU which is always a bonus.

It was always going to be Stanford or Washington, although she also visited OU and I think FSU? Not sure on the last one. Stanford makes the most sense given she’s from San Jose.

More in line with smaller schools/JUCO, her stats don’t jump out as too impressive

94 innings and only 95K for the year. Her team was strong and she along with the other pitchers did their jobs.

Looks like Puni had surgery recently, If my memory serves me right we have had 5 players on the roster this past year that have had to get surgery, Donihoo, Mosley, Keene, Pannell, and Puni. Im going to need to know why it seems like we have so many injuries every year

Olivia Underwood (hers was fall Freshman season) believe hers was from high school. Reinjured shortly after being released. And Lair after last season causing her to miss fall.

If this was a Major League Baseball team the whole strength and conditioning with the training staff would be all fired. Toooo many every year needing surgery compared to any other college teams. Got to be related to the strength and conditioning with the training program the softball team are doing. That needs to be revisited asap. Makes no sense we are have more shoulder surgeries than baseball teams.

Something to be said for the numbers for sure. I’d say a good portion already have a diminutive tear when they arrive and played through the discomfort. Possibly got checked out and was told it’s torn and given options. Then some happen like Pannell on a swing to the opposite arm. Weak scaps/shoulder imbalance and overuse early need to be addressed at the youth level.

Serious question, Majors. What do you mean by overuse? Playing too many games at an early age? None of those mentioned are pitchers and I am just wondering. Thanks.

Too much too early. Early on position players tend to not train to throw properly…they just throw and throw as the training. Practice, games etc. Pitchers as they get older do more bands, mobility work as well as shoulder/scapula work to stabilize the shoulder/rotator cuff. That’s why I said many times a kid has a torn labrum before they arrive to college….that catching and grinding they’ve alway joked about was tear/fray. When my daughter had hers years ago, her doctor said if they scanned her team majority would have some sort of tear.

Which the same girls are playing on the same teams and at the same tournaments at the youth level so that doesn’t explain why Tennessee are having so many injuries every year. You can’t tell me Tennessee is the only school recruiting injured players. There’s got to be a reason why they are getting hurt over other schools. They are doing something different than other schools which are causing the injuries. There’s no reason the training staff shouldn’t had Lair in softball shape when the season started last year. That right there is enough to question things. Guess we’ll see where Pannell, Keene and Puni are when the season starts.

Keene had one prior to her arriving to Tennessee. What do you mean in shape? Typically you don’t get cleared until a full 7 months to be 100% cleared by their doctors. I’m sure she was doing benchmark work in her throw plan…it’s not a quick fix procedure.

And I don’t know each one’s case using my owns experience. Hers was done on one throw…her doctor said because of her tear it could have been there for awhile or that throw did it. Her symptoms of the catching and grinding sides on it being there for awhile. She stated to me she felt off returning from PGF CA…she was 15 at the time and did it that fall in the first game back.

I have heard from numerous sources that they are not given the proper amount of time to warm up before practice because of the time constraints on practices nowadays. If you’re not using bands to stretch and slowly working your way into long toss you will see increased injuries like the lady vols have had!
