Overnight, Taylor McQuillin went from being the youngest member of the Arizona softball pitching staff to one of its oldest.
By all accounts, McQuillin appears ready to take on the task of seniority, even if she’s only a junior by class.
The two-time All-Pac-12 honoree will lead a staff made up almost exclusively in newcomers. Head coach Mike Candrea expressed certainty that she’s ready for the job.
“She knows she’s going to get the ball a lot, and she’s got a lot of confidence,” Candrea said during the team’s first media availability of the new year.
