Even the Cliff's Notes version of Sierra Romero's career on the softball field reads like an epic.
Four-time all-American at Michigan. Two-time national player of the year. The first player in NCAA history with at least 300 hits, 300 runs and 300 RBIs. An NCAA record 11 career grand slams. Named, in 2017, the fifth-best player in Division-I history. The No. 2 pick in the 2016 professional draft, and a three-year standout with the USSSA Pride who hit .407 in the summer of 2018.
So one could excuse, then, the reaction of the Oregon softball team when Romero was introduced last fall as a volunteer assistant on the new staff of head coach Melyssa Lombardi.
