[SoftballisBetter]

Softball is such a different animal than baseball. I didn’t realize until I started umpiring several decades ago, but if you can develop one stud arm you can go from a very mediocre team to a very good team overnight. It also gives teams upset opportunities as well. I would to see baseball and softball go to a best of 3 series to decide championships.

You are absolutely right. In softball, if you have a pitcher that is truly a beast in the circle it can change the whole outcome of your season. I guess that is why everyone was going crazy that for the upcoming season, Bobby has Grisby who is his senior pitcher and not only does she have a lot of experience behind her but she does well in the circle, he also has Mullins who will only be a freshman but she saw a lot of circle time last year as an 8th grader and has proved herself as a talented pitcher, and then when he added Fields to the roster as an outstanding 8th grader who has the unbelievable speed for a player her age it made everyone feel like Perry would be untouchable which I still think they will be because they are loaded and busting out the seams with talent but it would have been awesome to see him have 3 pitchers that he could pull out of his tool belt to match up against whoever they are playing. Also, with Grigsby graduating and both Mullins and Fields very young that would have helped Perry in years to come. After this year I don't who else Perry will have besides Mullins. I am not sure if they have any other players that are coming up that is a pitcher. 

Bobby will still have a great season with the team he has and they will be fun to watch. I would love to see this group bring home a State Title!
