and lift the offense from the abyss.

Conference play offensive ranks:
BA - #2
Slugging - #5
OBP - #2
Runs - Tied for #2
Hits - #4
RBIs- #4
Doubles - #1
HRs- #7
Walks - #1
Ks - #11

So HRs only category where we're even middle of the pack.

Exactly right. Offense has not been the issue. It’s the lack of pitching depth beyond Kilponen and even she is only a middle of the road #1 starter. Sunseri and Wickersham pitched lights out in the 2020 season before it got shut down and were a solid 1-2 tandem in 2019. Their regression since then has really set the program back. If they had developed as expected, this team would be right in the title hunt. Hopefully at least one of the 3 stud pitching prospects coming in next year and/or Chaffin are ready to take on the #2 role. There is real promise for next season if they can.
