I have watched several teams play this year, and in my opinion SD has the best defence in TN. The middle infield is strong and they work well together. SD's third baseman covers alot of grown and gets to balls most 3rd basemen's wouldnt, she also works well with the shortsop nothing gets between those two unless its an honest hit. And just from watching i dont suggest you bunt on SD either thier corner's will be in your back pocket. One thing i think needs improvement is SD catching! Too many passed balls!. SD's catcher can swing a bat better than anyone in Tn, but her catching need's alot of work, mainly fundamentals! Does SD have another catcher? SD's pitching is great, but without that defense thier ERA's would be alot higher. Can anyone argue that they are the best defensive team in the State?
