COACH THOMAS ON THE CATCHERS “With five pitchers, we’re fortunate to have four catchers who can get the job done. Kelsey Hoffman is a great leader behind the plate. It’s like having another coach on the field with her. She’s become a clutch hitter and we’re looking for great things out of her. Misty Hall is one of the best overall athletes we’ve ever had here, but she still needs to learn a little bit about calling games, but we’re excited about what she brings to the team. Morgan Harris and Beth Walker also do a great job with our staff and I have confidence in putting all four of them into a game. It’s not a situation Kelsey Hoffman most teams have, but we’re fortunate to be in this spot.”

She was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America second-team squad. As a junior, her numbers were even better. She had the lowest ERA in the country at 0.56 and had a school- and ACC-record 617 strikeouts. The 617 Ks were second in the nation, as was her 13.9 strikeout per seven innings ratio. She again earned NFCA first-team All-Northeast Region, ACC Pitcher of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP, first-team All-ACC, first-team all-state and pitcher of the year in the state and was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All- America first-team squad.
