Pitching coach makes immediate impact on freshman pitchers

It’s a season of firsts for some of the pitching staff in the women’s softball program at WSU and Pitching Coach Presley Bell said they are “growing together.”

Bell is in her first year as a pitching coach for the women’s softball program after spending two seasons as a graduate volunteer assistant. Joining her this season are freshman pitchers Kenzie Schopfer and Alison Cooper.

“They’re my first true pitchers that I’m going through the whole shebang with so we are building that relationship (and) we are talking in our bullpens,” Bell said. “We are talking mindsets.”

Cooper and Schopfer both have had an immediate impact in the Shockers last two weekends of play.
