Okay predictions for the upcoming season. Washington wins the conference . Baylee Klingler is player of the year. Gabbie Plain is pitcher of the year.Rylee Holtorf or Kinsey Fielder are freshman of the year.

As of now first place is Arizona State followed by UCLA then Washington in 3rd. The Huskies have looked good the past few series and are trending in the right direction towards postseason. A few weeks ago it looked like Washington was on the host bubble sort of on the verge of not hosting. With the past few series they've got some pretty good sweeps and are now looking to be a 10-16 seed.

Not that I expect it to happen, but what happens with ASU if they get swept by UCLA & Washington? I know they're playing some pretty good ball, but I'm eager to find out what they're made of in these last two series. The series against UCLA being in Tempe is going to make for some good softball.

I don't see ASU getting swept by UCLA, I expect just the opposite. The past few series it seems UCLA has run out of gas. They did well in their game against CSUF, but other than that, their batting seems too easily shut down.

Wow, I didn't realize UCLA was slumping that badly. I don't think they're ready to panic just yet, but the lack of offense is a definite concern going into Tempe.
A sweep of the Bruins for ASU would be huge but UCLA always seems to show up for the bigger games.
Faraimo will be tough for the ASU bats, I just hope her offense has her back.

I'm not sure I see UCLA getting swept. I do think they will lose 2 of the 3 games, but I think Megan Faraimo is going to have ASU's number one night. ASU's pitching can be suspect at times too.

I'll be very interested to see if ASU's pitching holds up as the year progresses. That offense will definitely give them plenty of breathing room!
But speaking of their pitching... I've been really surprised by the lack of innings (and the ERA) for Royalty. I just knew she was going to be their next great pitcher. I'd also still like to know what happened to her at the end of last year, with that apparent injury that was hidden.

I thought the same about Royalty when they announced she'd committed to ASU. Just saw her ERA & wow! I hope she gets totally healed for next season.
