2023 Recruiting - Softball

Any 2023 grads that are playing for Texas in 2023-2024 playing in the UIL tournament this weekend at McCombs? I happen to drive by there today and the gates were open and various teams will milling about. Might just walk in and catch a game.
 
Teagan Kavan must have done pretty well in this all star game. Kayden Henry was also on her team. Love her waving the Longhorn flag!
 
I watched a replay of the Alliance fastpitch all star game. Kavan started and struck out the side in the 1st inning, no hit the second inning but did give up a walk. Kayden Henry led off the game with a flyout and her second bat struck out. Kavan came back in the 7th inning as her team was behind 2-1. And what does she do but walk the lead off hitter who steals 2nd. She strikes out the next 2 batters then wild pitches to get the runner to third. Then an OK State commit gets a hit by just putting her bat out and it goes over short. Kavan gives up a run. She doesn't get charged for the lose but her team loses 3-1. She is going to be a great pitcher for Coach White. Her Rise ball is her strength pitch with a nice change up. Henry didn't have a chance to really show her stuff with only 2 bats.

Where did you watch the replay? I’ve been looking but cant find it anywhere!
 
I was really impressed with Kavan. I’m excited but really worried how she will do in college. Sophia Simpson was a star in travel ball and when she got to college it was the total opposite. Almost as if she regressed. :/. I really hope Kavan is one of the 3 aces. We need a strikeout pitcher really bad.

I agree Kavan has more upside than Simpson though. Simpson can be great if she developed a consistent pitch other than her change up. Kavan has that already and her low rise and rise ball will be her bread and butter kind of like the Stanford pitcher. I think confidence will be key from the beginning for Kavan. If she comes in and trusts herself I could easily see her getting a lot of innings.
 
Teagan Kavan! It sure looks like we have someone special coming to Texas. I believe the game was on tv but I missed it. Hope to find the re-air.

I watched her game today and she didn’t get the victory but still has tremendous upside. She did walk a lot of batters but also has many strikeouts.
 
She should’ve easily won MVP and she’s much faster than I thought. Stewart went 0-2 at the plate but her frame is so solid. She will be hitting straight bombs in Austin.
 
Teagan Kavan with other members of her Iowa Premier travel ball team with D-1 commitments. Lover her Burnt Orange Passion!
 
This D1Softball article is premium content but I would really enjoy seeing what they have to say. At least people are recognizing and talking about the elite 2023 class we have on campus.
