Which strike zone is better and why??? AUSL Softball [jFlSNHxegVx]
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m really enjoying watching the AUSL. 👀🥎 And yes, I’m probably a little biased as a pitcher. But after watching an entire college season, it’s been fun seeing these pitchers work a slightly different strike zone, especially the rookies making the jump to the professional level. The game feels different. The adjustments are different. The sequencing is different. And I know some hitters are having to make adjustments too. Different calls. Different approaches. Different plans at the plate. Which has created some really fun pitcher-versus-hitter battles to watch. One pitcher I’ve absolutely loved watching is Pickens with the Carolina Blaze. The intensity. The confidence. The competitiveness. It was so much fun watching her at Tennessee, and I’m really enjoying watching her compete at the professional level. And honestly, I know I told y’all to watch the Women’s College World Series if you want to learn from the best… But the AUSL is the next step. This is literally the best of the best competing against the best of the best. 💯 Want to learn how elite pitchers sequence? Watch. Want to learn how elite hitters make adjustments? Watch. Want to learn how professionals handle pressure? Watch. But don’t just watch the games. Listen to the interviews. Listen to the conversations between innings. Listen to how athletes talk about preparation, routines, confidence, adjustments, and trust. Some of the best information you’ll ever learn about softball isn’t during the game itself—it’s hearing how these athletes think. How they reset after failure. How they prepare. What they trust when the pressure is highest. That’s the gold. 💗 There’s so much softball IQ available right now if you’re willing to be a student of the game. Curious… Who’s your favorite AUSL player or team right now? 👇🥎 #softballpitching
