The Mississippi State softball program hasn’t been around for very long. The Bulldogs started playing softball back in 1982, but the program stopped fielding teams in 1986. However, in 1997, softball returned to Starkville and the Bulldogs have been playing the sport since.
And so, because of the nature of the program’s relative youth and having to compete in the same conference as national powers such as LSU, Florida, Auburn, and Alabama (among others), there’s only so much to hang your hat on. That said, the Bulldogs do have a few bright spots worth discussing.
Their current head coach is certainly one of those.
