Hitting 24 home runs in a season has a lot of consequences, some of them good and some of them challenging. For Arizona softball second baseman Allie Skaggs, she’s learning to maneuver around the challenging ones this season.
“When you put up 20-plus homeruns the year before, people are gonna be careful with you,” said Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe. “And they just they weren’t as careful last year. She got more pitches. And this year they’re being very careful and pitching around her and she’s understanding that even if she takes a strike purposefully, she’s still in a good position.
