Well, an update, but not a good one. She did come in, and promptly threw 8 straight balls including two wild pitches.

Really, really disappointing

Pitching matchup is freshman Lily Riley (0-0, 0.00) vs senior Stevie Hansen (0-0, 8.10). Neither has thrown much yet this season (Riley 1.2 IP, Hansen 3.1).

Huskies are the designated home team for this game

It basically seemed like the yips, yeah. Has to have killed her confidence to go from a top prospect to buried on the depth chart.

The only thing I can rule out is a major injury. She's definitely capable of pitching. There certainly could be some smaller injury that she's recovering from and they're being cautious with the timeline (which honestly would be better than just that she can't throw strikes)

The one fall scrimmage I saw her was really rough. She threw only like 20 pitches but at least half were uncompetitive balls

Then at the open scrimmage just before the season, she only pitched a little bit - the other four pitchers all threw a lot more than she did

It could happen, but unfortunately I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it. More likely, the problem she was having at FSU (couldn't throw strikes with any reasonable consistency) is still there
