From an outsider’s view, Arizona softball first baseman Carlie Scupin didn’t always seem relaxed last season. She had a good year, hitting .369 and knocking 19 balls out of the park. She just sometimes appeared stressed.
That’s not the case with Scupin this year. She’s more likely to have a smile on her face when she speaks with the media. She seems to be enjoying herself both on the field and after the game is over. What’s the difference this season for the junior?
“Something that’s helped me this year is maybe just realizing how great the players are around me and that I don’t have to put all the pressure on myself,” Scupin said.
