DONNA KERR The Bruins brought in four freshmen as a solid recruiting class for 2011, but perhaps the biggest “newcomer” this season is someone Opposing Batting Average 5th (.192) who played in just seven contests a year ago. Schroeder had eight hits in 22 at-bats through the fi rst two weekends of the season before Strikeouts 5th (185) going down with a season-ending, left leg injury. Now a redshirt junior, Schroeder is healthy again and ready to duplicate a 2009 campaign Wins 7th (18) which saw her hit .402 with 14 homers and 19 stolen bases. Innings Pitched 9th (150.1) “We were very fortunate to do so well without Katie in the lineup last year and to be able to regain a quality leader like that is a huge Earned Run Average 10th (2.47) strength for us. Katie is a vocal leader for us as the quarterback of our outfi eld. Offensively, I look for her to be what she was for us as a sophomore in 2009.” When it comes to Harrison, many people talk about the four home runs at the WCWS, a Series-record 11 RBI in Oklahoma City and a SAMANTHA CAMUSO spot on the All-Tournament Team. They also talk about the .343 average, the 17 homers and 55 runs batted in last year. As Inouye-Perez Slugging Percentage 8th (.669) put it, she has proven that she is one of the most feared hitters in the game. But a lost attribute of Harrison’s is her solid defense as she Home Runs T-8th (16) roams left fi eld. Total Bases T-10th (115) “You don’t get to see it because she doesn’t get too many reps, but Andrea has one of the strongest outfi eld arms in the country,” Inouye- Perez said. “She takes a lot of pride in the position and works very well with the other outfi elders to produce a solid unit.” ALEAH MACON One of the players who was thrown into the center fi eld position last year with the injury to Schroeder was Bates, who came through with Saves T-2nd (3) fl y ing colors after hitting .322 with fi ve homers and 31 RBI. She came through in the clutch several times as a freshman, hitting two-run Earned Run Average 3rd (1.50) bombs in the Super Regionals against Louisiana-Lafayette and the WCWS versus Georgia. “B.B. has worked very hard on her game and came through for us in a lot of key situations last season,” Inouye-Perez said. “Just like her Opposing Batting Average 8th (.211) fellow outfi elders, she has both the short game and the long game. B.B. has an incredible work ethic and I look for her to be even stronger in 2011.” MONICA HARRISON Another player who proved to be a solid replacement in center fi e ld was sophomore Devon Lindvall. She played in 50 games as a Sacrifi ce Hits 1st (17) freshman, making 26 starts in center. She only had 31 appearances at the plate, but her biggest role came in the outfi eld, where she made Doubles T-4th (15) some spectacular defensive plays, including one at the WCWS that made the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10. “Devon is an outstanding outfi elder and she made some great plays for us out there last season,” Inouye-Perez said. “She works very DANI YUDIN hard offensively too. Devon brings great depth to our team and has a very positive approach to fi lling any role for us.” Sacrifi ce Flies T-2nd (4) “I have a great deal of confi dence that any one of these four outfi elders can do a great job of fi lling those positions.” On Base Percentage 10th (.471)
