When I was in high school and playing softball, I always wanted to play in college. I didn’t have a scholarship, but I had plenty of encouragement from my dad, so I decided to go to Texas Tech. I played on the freshman team and was a part of the winning team in the 2014 season. I don’t know what it was like at Texas Tech, but I know for me, my first year was the best.
My freshman year was a lot like the one I just described. The Texas Tech softball team was led by a girl named Kelsey Krumnow. She was one of the best hitters on the team and had a killer arm. She was also incredibly humble. She would always stop in the middle of her shot to say “thank you” to everyone who was in the stands.
Kelsey Krumnow was the first freshman to win the conference title since Texas A&M in 2002. Krumnow is the oldest member of the Texas Tech softball team so she is still a teenager. She’s also the first freshman to win the conference title since Texas A&M in 2002 and the first freshman to win the conference title since Texas A&M in 2011.
The Texas Tech softball team is one of the best teams in the world. But when they’re not winning games, they are making a lot of noise. That sounds great until you remember that it’s only the first year of the Texas Tech softball team since the death of Coach Loyola. Because what happened to coach Loyola is just one of the many things that have happened since then.
This year the team has had a few different faces in the front office. Head Coach Daryll Hill, former assistant coaches, and now, a new coach, have all stepped down. The team has also had other changes as well, including head coach and assistant coach leaving the team. The Tech softball team has had six coaches in the last decade, and each has had different methods for recruiting.
In addition to head coach, the Tech softball team has three assistant coaches, an assistant coach of the junior varsity, a junior varsity assistant, and a coach of the varsity.
And since Daryll and the head coach, Chris Williams, have both stepped down, new tech softball coach Jody Pecan has taken over. Jody is a former assistant coach, and has had extensive experience coaching in the lower levels of the NCAA, as well as the World Championships. Like Williams, Jody is also new to Texas Tech, and has only just arrived for the fall semester.
Jody is the same guy who led the Tech softball team to the 2011 World Softball Championships. He was the head coach at the University of San Francisco, and won the NCAA title in 2003 as well as the 2010 CWS title. It’s a huge honor to have him calling Texas Tech softball home, and he is taking his first class this year.
Our class is named after his own player, and we’ve made sure to bring that in. Jody is a class of 12 athletes, but he has made the decision to give everyone a chance to succeed. Like Williams, Jody will have to adjust to a new system, and that will be a challenge. On the field, Jody is a solid defender who can also handle throwing a changeup to a runner, and is a solid offensive threat.
He is also a class of 12 athletes, but only one has to adjust to a new system. He has already taken to the field, and the course is a challenging one. He will have to adjust to an offensive system that includes a lot of fastballs, but also throws a changeup. Jody is a solid offensive threat. He is only one year removed from being an offensive back-up outfielder for the Texas Tech baseball team.
