BYU pitcher McKenna Bull talks with assistant coach Kevin Jensen prior to BYU and UVU competing in softball action at BYU in Provo on Wednesday, April 26, 2017.

PROVO — Ever since McKenna Bull stepped inside the pitching circle for the first time she's felt right at home. It's not the type of feeling a lot of players gain instantly, given the visibility and importance a fastball softball pitcher holds — a role that isn't rivaled by any position in any sport, according to BYU softball coach Gordon Eakin.
