Okay!

Is he a replacement hire, or a new pitching assistant?

Looks like a replacement for Leyba. I like having another pitching coach on staff as opposed to an infield/hitting guy. I doubt Ford turns over all pitch calling/coaching duties (I don't think she should) but you never know.

Can KP stay another year after playing pro ball this summer?

Ford would take all 3 back in a second ! Even with Pannell having a rough year Ford would still want her in the bullpen!

The roster is maxed this coming season and I think Wark would be the only one eligible since KP and Pannell both played pro

This was a lazy graphic someone posted. None of those softball players are eligible even with injunction.

- Wark had a redshirt year already. (not HS class of 2022)
- KP and TP signed (and played) pro contracts

Don't get excited about the volleyball list shown either. All four signed and played in pros.

Injunction does not override other NCAA eligibility rules...

Our Aggies are headed to Clearwater in a few months. Always a great trip and insanely competitive.

Definitely a positive addition. I'm guessing that she takes quite a bit of Munnerlyn's role. Additionally, it doesn't make us rely on the transfer from U of Houston with the 9.00+ ERA last season.

In 2025, Wright was Princeton's primary starter with 24 starts and a 2.92 ERA and had the most innings pitched on the team with 134 IP and a .229 BAA.

In 2026, her starts went down to 12 and she threw the 3rd most innings on the team (anyone know the story on that?). She had an ERA of 3.71 and a .257 BAA.

Not sure what the difference was between the two years for her. Strikeouts were about the same at a little under one per inning. The BAA was up a little but nothing crazy. The biggest thing I see is her HR allowed rate more than doubled in 2026.

A welcome addition! Looking forward to the season.
