Meghan Schorman, Softball Recruit

[mike412]

Is the pitcher Holly Aprile signed for next year. She lives in Missouri but pitches for Marquette Catholic in Alton, Illinois. Apparently, her league has teams from both states because there was an article on April 18 in the St Louis Post-Dispatch about her latest victory against another regional power. She pitched all the way in a 2-1 win and drove in the winning run. That win improved the team’s record to 17-0.

Since then, her team has gone 8-1. Five of the 8 wins were shutouts. In the other 3, they gave up 2, 2 and 1 runs. Their only loss was 7-0 in a non-conference game. This info is from MaxPreps.

MaxPreps most recent info on her is that her ERA is 0.78 and she has struck out 203 batters in 117 innings. That is 1.735 Ks per inning. Her biggest other offer was from Northwestern, which has been vying with Michigan for the top team in the Big 10 for the last decade. She has pitched at least 2 no-hitters this year.

All of that is very encouraging.

I've been wondering if there was a pitcher who would competently replace Harris. Do you have any insight as to any other incoming recruits? Seems like we're losing a few of the team's top players this year.

The names of the recruits were released in February. Schorman is the only one with a biography and stats on MaxPreps. There is another Illinois recruit, Abby Edwards, for whom they have her freshman stats but nothing later. She is listed as an INF - P. Her pitching stats as a frosh weren’t impressive, but she hit .562. However, her school plays in the lowest classification in Illinois.

There are only partial stats on Hannah Bach from Yough HS and through 8 games they were not encouraging: Hitting .200 and fielding % of .815. Katlyn Pavlick from South Park HS was PIAA 3A Player of the Year as a junior. They again have only partial stats on MaxPreps. Through 11 games, she was batting .676 with 7 HRs. Her fielding percentage again wasn’t great, .875.
