I don't listen to the game announcers but was they saying Gregg was turned originally right handed?

No, no. I was asking in general. She throws right-handed. I met her hitting coach, Rhett Lister, in 2015. He came and put on a day camp at the school I coached at. The Weeklys didn't turn her around; Lister did. He said he did it whenever she was young, but I never asked why. I just used her as an example.

The commentators just talked about the number of lefties in both TN and SC's lineups.

Thanks for responding. I would bet most right hand throwers that now bat leftie were turned around so long ago that they hardly remember when. I will be surprised if we ever see more than a couple of righties in the lineup on any given day. That one extra step makes a huge difference in a batting average. Thinking back to my HS state runner up team and my state champions the next year we had 4 righties then and that was the early 80s!

Oh, wow! Kind of off-topic, but not quite... Have you seen the video of the baseball player slapping in MLB? I can't remember who it was or what team he played for. It was just a short clip that came across my Facebook Timeline, but it was golden. Perfectly placed! Lol!

We share thoughts I see. Think Gregg would have transitioned just as well into college softball and the SEC in general without Shipman on the coaching staff?

I think Gregg would have as well. Not saying Shipman helped her any at all. Found this on the website and if Megan can do as well I may change my mind but she will not do much better. Don't get me wrong I think as I have said I love Megan and would hate to know where we were without her. She will be the AA on this team!!!

Shipman enjoyed one of the finest careers in Tennessee softball history, hitting .348 with 44 homers, 55 doubles, 207 RBIs, 177 runs and 58 stolen bases from 2011-14. She had one of the greatest single-season performances in 2014 when she hit a career-best .417 with 18 homers, 16 doubles, 54 RBIs, 56 runs and 13 stolen bases. Shipman won the 2014 SEC Player of the Year award and was recognized for her excellence on and off the field, winning the 2014 Honda Sports Award for Softball and the 2014 Senior CLASS Award for Softball. She was also a three-time NFCA All-American (2012, 2013, 2014) and a two-time Capital One Academic All-American (2013, 2014)
The Valencia, Calif., native finished her Tennessee ranked in the top 10 in a variety of statistical categories. She ranks 10th in career at-bats (727), 10th in runs (177), 10th in hits (253), third in doubles (55), third in home runs (44), first in grand slams (4), third in multi-run homers (24), fourth in RBIs (207), ninth in stolen bases (73), fourth in walks (105), third in total bases (444), fifth in slugging percentage (.611), second in defensive assists (397) and third in double plays turned (29).
Shipman, who was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the National Pro Fastpitch Draft, saw her softball success continue in the professional ranks. In 44 games with the USSSA Pride, she hit .344 with five homers and 28 RBIs to win the 2014 NPF Rookie of the Year and earn a spot on the 2014 All-NPF team.

LUV us some Megan Gregg!!


She has the smoothest and effortless swing I have ever seen!!

That is why she moved up in the lineup.

Don't give up any more cheap runs Matty. Stop it with the walks.

I'd like to run rule this bunch and return the favor.

You could tell it was coming - Matty was losing it in the 5th. How cold is it? SC finally took Blue out. I hope Arnold can get 6 more outs.
