Am I reading this correctly, that Arizona got 5 of the top 23 HS players? If so, why is that not being talked about more widely?

Agree. I think that’s a pretty damn good haul for her first class.

I think cause it's still only the #6 ranked class in the country. All 5 of these players committed to Arizona when Candrea was the coach. Lowe was able to keep them all committed.

Hopefully Sydney Somerndike, the 2021 Gatorade's California Player of the Year is not hurt too seriously. Sydney will probably be the Cats #1 pitcher heading into next season if Lowe does not bring in a pitcher from the transfer portal.

Arizona landed another 2023 pitcher, she’s a lefty from Elk Grove, Aissa Silva. She was the NorCal POY.

I had a feeling Brianna was going to end up as a Cat

It looks like Ali Ashner, who was at U of A originally, but left to rehab a major knee injury and later became the JUCO POY, is back with Arizona.

Janelle who? Cats are going to have a very strong outfield

Ashner had 21 Homers last year. I'd definitely get her bat in the lineup, at least at the DP spot.

with that in mind, I see Ashner as an upgrade from Meono. Ashner, Kennedy, and Dimler in the outfield - oh yeah!

I can't imagine a world where Perezchica isn't starting and leading off.

Sounds like Lowe is hitting the trail hard in 2024, they already have commitments from the number 6 and 7 player in the class

This is huge. She is Extra Inning Softball’s No. 8 pitcher and No. 9 overall player in 2023. Plus, she is a lefty. In her three years at Elk Grove High, she had a minuscule ERA of 0.56. She struck out 552 batters in 310.2 innings pitched and went 35-9. In her final season in California, she set the Elk Grove single-season record by striking out 320 batters, blowing by the previous record of 269, https://www.azdesertswarm.com/softball/ ... strikeouts

I doubt she plays much if at all this year honestly. Practicing with Mowatt is more beneficial than spending a year dominating softball in the Tucson High School circuit (she's already moved here), so I'm sure that's the plan. Gives us an emergency option as well of course.

Please tell me our pitching will be much improved this year.

The best teams always have dominant pitching.

Maybe? I think it could be improved, but I would hesitate to say dominant for sure.
