2024 SOU Softball Team

@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball @GabbyHeiken @KerlingSarah

The Raiders were firing on all cylinders yesterday, beating two different teams by a combined score of 31-1. After a couple of early season losses, Massey dropped them in the ratings, but they are back up to #2. Vanguard and Hope International, who Southern Oregon will be playing later this week on the road, are both in Massey’s Top 10 so those should be interesting contests to watch.

2023 Cascade Conference Softball Statistics

@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball @dejaacosta24 @katie_mac0807 @KerlingSarah @riles_cd @weinberg_lauren

Details here and here.

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.
