ESPN's Amanda Scarborough and Softball America's Tara Henry spoke with Ryan Chapman on the impact of Oklahoma's seniors, the overall state of college softball and where the WCWS should play every year.
Q: Earlier this week, Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso staked her claim that OU’s senior class is one of the most impactful groups in the history of the sport. How will you view this group — led by Tiare Jennings, Jayda Coleman, Kinzie Hansen, Rylie Boone and Nicole May — once their careers wrap up at the conclusion of the Women’s College World Series?
Q: This will also be the last time fans see Jayda Coleman patrolling the outfield at the WCWS, what has stood out about her career? Q: Oklahoma’s senior class has experienced the format shift at the WCWS, the rise of instant replay, the introduction of the pitch clock and so many other changes throughout their careers. Have those changes impacted the sport in a positive manner, and what are the next things you see changing to continue to push the sport forward?: I do feel like the pitch clock has helped a lot.
