Ed. Note: This will be my final season providing regular softball coverage. Thank you to all the readers these past years.

The Tigers prowess at the plate was not one that was much to write home about last year, with the unit ranking outside the SEC top-5 in average, on base percentage, and slugging percentage. Throw in the departures of long-time starters Aliyah Andrews and Amanda Doyle and this unit is a bit in question heading into 2022.
Thankfully the cupboard is not entirely bare. Leading the Tiger offense figures once again to be shortstop Taylor Pleasants.
