Oregon's Pair Of Aces Dealing At Elite Level
Sophomore Miranda Elish tends to throw a few miles per hour harder than junior Megan Kleist. The readout on the radar gun isn't the only number that's a little higher for the younger of Oregon's two ace pitchers.
UO coach Mike White likes to tell his players they're at their best when they keep their heart rate between 60 and 80 beats per minute. One only has to watch a few pitches each from both Kleist and Elish to know where on the spectrum each prefers.
"She's very 60," Elish said. "And I'm very 80."
