UAB Mini-Scout


Recommended Posts

Wednesday's opponent has a 7-4 record with losses to Central Arkansas (2), Belmont, and McNeese St.  Team batting average is .269, with 6 homers in 11 games.  Olivia Valbak (who also pitches) is at .389, with Lauren Brock at .361 and Sierra Frazier at .310.  Valbak has thrown 13 innings, and has an ERA of 3.46.  She's given up only one walk in those 13 innings.  Their most-used pitcher is Sarah Cespedes with 26 innings, and she also has an ERA of 3.46.  Caitlin Russell has an ERA of 1.00 over 13 innings, and the 4th pitcher is Leigha Kirby at 3.71.  We'll be the best team they've seen, by a good margin.  #13 on their roster is Cassady Greenwood, who transferred from Louisville after her sister Carmyn graduated.  She's appeared in 5 games.

I took a glance at their schedule.  They play a 3 game series with the Florida Gators and later with Arkansas.  They also play a home and home series with Alabama.  Their new coach was very successful in 6 seasons at Wallace State.

Looks like UAB is currently ahead of us in estimated RPI. North Dakota State also is ahead of us in the same RPI estimate. Troy, South Alabama, Weber State, and Georgia Tech will also help, but we’ll need to steal a game from Northwestern (x2) or Oklahoma (x2) for a signature out of conference win.

Did they not get the Oregon assistant coach or has that coach since moved on.

I believe you are thinking of Jimmy Kolantis who was an assistant coach at Oregon for 5 years prior to leaving to take the head coach job at UAB and stayed 2 years prior to departing for Arizona State July 2020.  I believe he was highly regarded as a potential HC at AU when Myers departed.

A.J. Daughtry (current UAB coach) must then be the Wallace State coach who beat us in the fall of 2021?  Or was that last fall when we played on the road?  Kolaitis is the hitting coach at Ariz. St, who won the PAC-12 last year.
