My GUESSES for the Boise State softball team's lineup for 2024

#1 · May 16, 2023, 11:10 am

This GUESS at the 2024 Boise State softball team non-pitching lineup is obviously going to be affected IF Boise State brings in not only another pitcher for 2024 from the transfer portal but also position players as well.

C - Brooklyn Pettis - 2024 JR

C - Abby Edwards - 2024 RS FR

C - Leah McAnally - 2024 True FR

1B - Sydney Groves - 2024 SO OR Ashlyn Whalen - 2024 SR

2B - Abby Bumcrot - 2024 SR OR Hollie Farmer - 2024 SO

SS - Abby Bumcrot - 2024 SR OR Hollie Farmer - 2024 SO

3B - Sydney Groves - 2024 SO OR Ashlyn Whalen - 2024 SR

RF - Alycia Flores - 2024 RS SR OR Kelsey Hall - 2024 RS SR

CF - Mykenzie Hanna - 2024 JR

Assuming we get at least one good pitcher from the transfer portal, that would be a pretty good lineup. An improvement in pitching/defense will be needed to get over the hump next year. I also hope the newcomers bring some speed, as it seemed our overall team speed was not too great this year. I'm not even talking about base running, but just foot speed in general seemed lacking.

The three non-pitching positions that will be replaced and a comparison of the 2023 batting averages for those 2023 starters at those positions and for the projected 2024 replacements would look like the following:

Catcher - Serena Huchingson - .313 - Projected 2024 Catcher - Brooklyn Pettis - .188

Shortstop - Eliyah Flores - .313 - Projected 2024 Shortstop - Hollie Farmer - .259

Third Base - Autumn Bennett - .377 - Projected 2024 Third Base - Ashlyn Whalen - .283
