This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yes, apparently she does... by 2Domer
Based only on what I have read (because I have never seen her pitch and am not qualified to evaluate even if I did), she is a top level pitcher. It sounds like she is not really a "power" pitcher, but is very good at mixing speeds, pitching to locations, and has good breaking pitches, especially a "drop" pitch. She reportedly also has command of the mound (but in softball I guess it is called a "patch"), and is very confident. I don't know if these attributes translate into equal success in college, but reportedly she is a highly regarded recruit. She happens to pitch on the same team as another excellent pitcher named Miranda Elish, who has accepted a scholarship to Oregon. But Holloway and Elish have very similar records and stats, including strikeout totals and ERAs, even though Elish is in the class ahead of her.
