Alyssa Denham retired all nine batters she faced in Wednesday’s fall game against Phoenix College, blowing away five of them on strikes.
It was almost as if to say hey, I’m still here.
Because with all the fanfare that followed the addition of Oklahoma transfer Mariah Lopez —and rightfully so—it can be easy to forget that Arizona is also returning a pitcher who is pretty darn good.
And only getting better.
Thanks to some hard work in the weight room, Denham’s velocity is up a few more ticks this fall, as she now tops out in the upper 60s.
