So is the catchers still injured or can she not throw it back to the pitcher without over throwing?

Read somewhere that she has the yips.

yips?

Different girl but same condition.

Pretty embarrassing tbh I'm surprised people like that can make it at the D1 level

The linked article in your post cites MLB luminaries Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblauch (as well as pedestrian catcher Mackey Sasser) as players who had the yips, so a player making a D 1 softball team doesn't seem entirely far-fetched.

. . . A 2015 study defined "yips" as "a psycho-neuromuscular impediment affecting the execution of fine motor skills during sporting performance," which while long-winded, seems about as useful as any definition for an idea that encompasses a range of physical manifestations. . . . In baseball, Sax and Chuck Knoblauch lost the ability to throw to first base from second base, while Mackey Sasser experienced much the same block as Collazos. . .

Here's a 2020 article from MLB detailing double digit professional players so afflicted, including the aforementioned Sax, Knoblauch, and Sasser:

Took us a bit to adjust down to Geurin on Friday. I would be more relaxed if we could score a few more

I'm sure this has been discussed.... but why the hell is Auburn's catcher running the ball to the pitcher after every pitch??? That seems ridiculous.

The yips

And he also picked up four World Series championships. I think it was he and Terry Taylor who were really good in the middle infield back in their Aggie days.

Lefty with 0 strikeouts. Defense doing it for her.

Yes it was!! I usually call myself "self"

From what I have seen this weekend she is an outstanding receiver. She is better defensively than any of our three catchers. I doubt it is the yips even if that is what the coaches say(I have not heard them say it). Lisenby, like most players also isn't going to tell her coaches she is hurting if it means leaving the lineup. She would rather claim the yips.
I belive it to be a lateral epicondylitis. She could still throw with full efficiency to the bases but the pain in regular tosses back to the pitcher would be interrupted by pain that would sometimes cause her to not finish her throwing motion and make bad throws. In the article people keep attaching about the girl with the yips you will note that she quit throwing from a crouch or knee but would take a step or two forward and throw back to the pitcher. She wasn't trotting it out to the circle every pitch.. Lisenby will only toss it back underhanded at about half distance when no one is on base.

We never get a straight answer on it until a couple of years after her career is over and no one cares anymore if they are hiding something. Regardless she is very talented.

Frankie and Agdad have the mojo today

This Auburn pitcher has a lot of head accessories.

Home run please then

Dammit

Don't think she touched home

Oh man that one was close…TV never showed a good angle

looked safe on replay

Why is the catcher running out everytime??

She was safe. Probably should have held her at third though.
