Also I’m assuming the catcher position is wide open this year?

At the moment is sorta is

Its between Schlattman, Springfield, Caccamise essentially, you can add Loupe, but we know she truly isn't in contention. Beth will allow her time because she works her arse off and is a senior.


Torina has made it clear she would be willing to sacrifice some defense for offense. Schlattman is a power hitter and has a pretty decent arm. I think she definitely is the front runner by a bit at the moment.

Springfield does a nice job framing the ball. Issue is her arm isn't the best and reflexes to throw out people is a work in progress. This will be an issue once we play top teams and have teams try to steal on us, that is a major problem

Caccamise is your natural catcher. Best defensive catcher for sure and has an excellent arm to throw out runners. Issue with her is obviously the staff doesn't exactly trust her bat at the moment. She definitely is very capable offensively, she hits a lot of line drives.


We definitely have options but LSU needs to make offense a priority at this point. Our pitchers can take care of business and make sure we don't have to deal with that many base runners
