Haven't been on here in a while, I see lots of rants happening so I thought it was time for a rave. No this isn't a huge brag fest about the DD, just a content parent observation.
DD is now a college sophomore at D3 school in PA, fresh off a week in Fort Meyers, FL and home opener against a #12 ranked team-thankfully they aren't in our conference. Her record is currently 0-3 with 1 save, her batting average is under .200 but only 1 strike out and 4 rbi. She has already had more PA's than all of last season and nearly half as many K's as last year's total.
None of those numbers are amazing so you are probably wondering what there is to make me so content?
What I read daily during the Florida games gave me the impression that she is in a better place mentally this year. What I saw at the home opener is a more confident player than she was last year. DD started in the circle for the opener, giving up only 5 runs to an awesome team; she grounded out against a pitcher who has a 0.00 era and strikes out an average of 2 batters/inning.
So happy to see her growth and how she is recovering from a shaky freshman year!
