Fiser will be back, Smith might actually be healthy, Brandt is back, Lowary might actually be healthy, and Bailey will have a year of Piper coaching her up. I think next year pitching will be far better than this year.
I certainly hope you're right. Without a second pitcher who's Fiser's equal (and Fiser's very good, of course), they won't get far on a national elite level. I don't see that happening with this staff, but I would love to be wrong. If Lowary keeps her pitches down in the zone, she could be the one.
