Michelle Gascoigne on How Many Pitches You Need

Also: Young players need to compete in the dugout

Michelle Gascoigne joined the Northwestern Softball Pitching staff in 2015 as an assistant coach.  The question she gets a lot is “How many pitches should young players have as they enter their recruiting years?”

Here she answers the question and gives advice to young players about improving and how to practice.

 

As a pitcher in Oklahoma, she combined with classmate Keilani Ricketts to form the best pitching duo in the nation that season, leading the Sooners to the Women’s College World Series championship game where Gascoigne threw a three-hit shutout to secure the national title for OU.
