Does anyone know how fast she throws? SEC Network had her around 59 mph for the one inning I was able to watch. pretty impressive numbers for not having overwhelming speed if the radar was right.

I'm sure she's capable of getting mid to high 60's, but stays in the high 50's to low 60's in an attempt to maximize her spin and movement. She's got arguably some of the best overall mechanics in the game, and has spent her practice time wisely by perfecting her accuracy and spin rates.
I'm suprised she's not at a bigger named school...
Anyone think Pat Murphy would bring her over from South?.

She is definitely a pitcher that a lot of top D1 coaches wish they had right now (Auburn being one of them), but I think Patrick Murphy is doing OK with Osario, Littlejohn and Drury.

The game of softball is changing and over the next 4-5 years I think the competition will get tighter and the havs and have nots are coming closer together at least with the pitching. I think pitching will redominate again.
