During last season’s record breaking softball season, two players — Sydney McKinney and Addison Barnard — were integral to the team’s success. Even with increased expectations for both of the standout players, McKinney and Barnard aren’t scared of the spotlight.
McKinney currently ranks 2nd in the NCAA in hits and 5th in batting average, total bases and runs per game and has been a constant presence as WSU’s leadoff hitter. She’s also recently cracked the top-10 hits list at WSU, with her 243 hits and sits in third place all-time. McKinney set the single season record a season ago with 87.
