Building on the numbers I ran for the baseball team, this week I am breaking down the performance of Oregon softball’s pitchers against their peers on teams that make the Women’s college world series. All the stats you see in this article come courtesy of d1softball.com.
Due to the nature of underhand pitch softball being less stressful on human arms, softball pitching staffs are significantly smaller than their counterparts on the mound. In 2025, Oregon generally rotated between only two pitchers in competitive games: Lyndsey Grein and Elise Sokolsky. This is actually a typical strategy if a team has one or two truly elite pitchers (see Texas Tech this year).
