Title: Despite success, Traina looking to improve in 3rd year Post by: pmull on February 08, 2013, 08:54:47 AM A good article about Traina written by The Crimson White. She wants to be a better hitter.
Quote Traina achieved a laundry list of historic accomplishments for Alabama last season, including being named an NFCA All-American for the second consecutive season, the SEC Pitcher of the Year, SEC Tournament MVP and Most Outstanding Player of the 2012 Women’s College World Series. She also led the nation with a 42-3 record, a school record, and set another school record with 361 strikeouts. Traina eventually finished the season with a 1.87 ERA, helping lead the Tide to its first national title. But for all Traina’s accomplishments last season, she said she feels she still has room to improve from last year in multiple areas. “I think there’s always room to get better,” Traina said. “You could always get better, either in little things or big things.” One area Traina said she’d worked on during the offseason was her batting average. While Traina certainly had power behind her bat, she said she felt she could improve in how often she hit the ball. Traina finished last season with a .319 percentage, 10 home runs and 37 RBIs. http://cw.ua.edu/2013/02/07/despite-success-traina-looking-to-improve-in-3rd-year/ |
