Without a doubt. Interesting to note that when watching UCLA vs ULL the other day, commentators noted that one girl on ULL had never even played fastpitch before ULL, only slowpitch in HS. Im pretty sure they taught her a alot, esp how to slap.
I heard that on the broadcast as well, but as it turns out, Nerissa Myers' high school actually had both slowpitch and fastpitch and she was a star in both. She did not grow up playing fastpitch, however. According to the media guide, she didn't pick up the game until 8th grade.
I'm not saying that it cannot happen, but it would be extremely unusual for a player to walk onto a D1 team in any sport they'd never played before.
