“Just be you.”
That is what you’ll find written on the glove of Sun Devils’ sophomore left-handed pitcher Giselle “G” Juarez.
“My dad always told me, ‘just be you cause you can only be as good as you are that day. You can’t get any better that day,’” Juarez said. “It’s just remembering to be myself in that moment and not try to be anyone else. Or to try too much.”
In Arizona State’s season opening loss to No. 7 Tennessee, that mindset may have gotten away from the sophomore. Juarez allowed six runs over five innings against the Volunteers.
