Season Outlook
What will the Raiders look like in 2012 season? Even though the Raiders return only two sophomores from the 2011 roster; the 2012 team will closely resemble the 2011 roster. Two big differences between 2011 and 2012; last year the Raiders were very experienced but had a lot of depth. This year the Raiders have lots of depth and talent, but are limited in their experience. It will most likely take a little longer for the freshmen to understand all of the team's offensive and defensive concepts.How else do we look the same as last season? Pitching and Defense... it remains to be seen if the defense can perform at the standards set by previous Raider teams. However, this group certainly has the potential to meet and exceed the defensive standards set by previous teams. The Raiders will be able to rotate as many as 5 pitchers into the Circle. Lunden Young and Kierston Perry pitched most the innings in Fall and they performed very well. Alisha Misner, Jorden Steele, and Ashley Bezdicek continue to work hard on their skills and are developing quickly.
What's different? New faces across the infield, in the circle and behind the plate. Similar skills sets to last year's team, but new names, new faces and different personality traits. Here's another potential difference - power! Early from Fall give good indications the Raiders will have a little more pop than last season.
A couple more things that may look the same; abundance of speed, short game ability and aggressive base running. Another thing we hope looks the same; fan support. Through Fall, the Raiders have continued to travel well. Thanks to all the friends, fans and family members who have come out to support Raider Softball.
