Sydney McKinney's senior softball season starts with adjusting a batting tee and placing a ball at a height and location she doesn't like to hit.
"There's immense film on me and everybody my age," she said. "One of my struggles has always been a certain pitch. Coach (Kristi Bredbenner) has talked to me about it over and over and I work on it as much as I can."
McKinney doesn't want to divulge specifics about the type of pitch that frustrates her for obvious reasons. Understand that at this point in her career, she is working on a small target area and a certain type of pitch that not every pitcher is able to execute.
