In softball, one elite pitcher can get a team a long way. As long as she has a solid (not even great) team behind her. The Bulls 2012 WCWS team is a perfect example. Nevins was one of the top five pitchers at the championships, solid defense and offense. The regional in 2012 against Hofstra, a great regional, is another example. Hofstra had one elite pitcher. She pitched almost every inning of the region, they didn't have the offense and she just wore out. The Bulls could be a top 25 team every year if CKE can recruit some pitching. Get good pitching and the hitters will follow. Easier said than done.
