Tennessee Softball 2025

Junior season stats for 2026 LV commits from TN Prep ranks :
Halle Bailey, shortstop, Alcoa, 42 games, (stats missing for 6 games), BA .694, AB 111, BB 17, K 4, H 77, R 78, SB 57
Avary Stockwell, 3rd. base, Green Hill, 42 games, BA .663, BB 41, K 4, H 65, HR 25, RBI 62
Bailee Shelton, utility, McNairy, 26 games (missed 10 midseason, injury), AB 89, BA .551, BB 15, K 5, H 49, R 34, RBI 35, 2B 27, HR 5, IP 103, ERA 1.02, K 189, BB 19, OBA .120
If that can translate to .350 to .375 here in the SEC will be awesome players for us. We certainly need these three players to be bigtime hitters.
 
Same staff that valued the other girls already on the bench recruited to do the same? I wish the girl the very best and becomes the player everyone wants her to be, and not another recruited bat leading cheers.
Interesting .......very interesting that one or anyone would question the worth of a player without observing at least one game as a Lady Vol

Self worth is a stretch, but questioning the need is where we are in the portal days. Again for the sensitive ones here, I wish the kid the best. A great opportunity for her.

I concede your point. Undersized and in the portal; therefore, has to be something special.

From last week, here is somewhat such a tale.

Obviously better that he had 4-5 years of eligibility.

Self -worth ??? I said absolutely nothing about self worth. So stretch as far as you desire.

Fact is any objective person would not question the abilities ( if you prefer that vice worth ) of a player without observing that player in the SEC environment over time .Obviously the Coaching staff evaluations merited an offer .

Bracket 1 is 4 SEC teams, all ranked higher than anyone in the second bracket, doesn’t seem right.

Yeah. This is definitely an argument for a re-seed…regardless of what sport playoff you’re talking about. It guarantees the two “best” teams WON’T be in the finals.
 
Mackenzie Butt also coming along with Sophia Knight. Looking a bit deeper they didn't really face any P5 teams these past few years tbh. Snider is going to have them coach them up to contribute effectively. I hope CKW isn't just looking at their stats at face value and is actually doing a deep dive into their offensive numbers. Pickens deserves an offense next year where she doesn't have to be perfect all the time, especially it being her senior year.

they faced stanford (top 25), indiana, utah, and san diego state (a regional team most years and sometimes top 25). both will help us. mackenzie has some big power and knight only had like 3-4 game where she didn’t get a hit the entire season.
 
Nice to see Karen loading up with quality players for next season....Sophia looks like the perfect lead off hitter....A fast left handed slapper, that can also hit away, puts the defense in a stressful situation....Put the ball in play and anything can happen...

If Allison is reporting certain teams, good chance those are the ones at the front and coming from Berzon/pitching coach. Allison’s husband and Berzons pitching coach were in a joint venture together years ago launching a velo program through Rapsodo together in Knoxville. Another reason why I said watch for FSU based on the connection with Brandon Carr (PC) and Travis at FSU. And the reason why Washington is in the article..deep relationships with Tarr. Georgia has had numerous Carr pitchers over the years too..Gibson, Brittany Gray and Shelby Walters.
