2023 NAIA Softball National Champions get their rings in October of 2023
@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball
The Raiders beat Marian, once more, today to earn another trip to the NAIA Softball World Series–their 6th trip in 7 years. Looks like Massey knows more than the coaches once again.
The timing made for some nice icing on Coach Harlee‘s birthday cake. Here is a photo from Harlee’s birthday six years ago.

The question that most people must be asking after seeing who won Player of the Year is how can the reigning National Player of the Year, who is having a very similar season as last, not have received the award? I have no idea. You’ll have to ask the coaches.
The article states that it’s because Loffer has the most walks and runs scored. However, Riley has a much higher batting average, more hits, almost twice as many RBIs, seven more HRs, more than 120 points higher in slugging percentage, and 20 more total bases in the exact same number of games. Total bases is a far more important stat than runs or RBIs as the latter two have a lot to do with where one bats in the lineup. Another way to neutralize the fact that Loffer leads off and Riley hits third is to add runs and RBIs. Again, Riley exceeds Loffer by a decent margin (120 for Donovan vs. 108 for Loffer).
Maybe it was defense then? In conference play, Donovan’s fielding percentage was .991; Loffer’s was .936. Hmmmmm…
This seems like an effort on the coaches’ part to “spread the awards” instead of awarding them to the most deserving.

This year’s national champs got their rings at halftime, during a downpour, last weekend. For many, this was their second ring (having won the 2019 national championship as well). The 2020 team was ranked number one in the country before the season was canceled so it could have been the third ring for a few of ’em.
