Since 2002 when the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award began, 14 winners have been crowned and wait for it....12 of those have been pitchers! Only two players who weren't pitchers have ever won, the inaugural winner UCLA's catcher Stacey Nuveman and Stanford's infielder Ashley Hansen in 2011. Texas' Cat Osterman is the only three-time winner, and Washington's Danielle Lawrie and Oklahoma's Keilani Ricketts have both won twice.We pulled some career stats on some of the best pitchers in college right now, and their sophomore campaigns tended to be one of their best. If LSU wins the title ( like we predict ) Hoover and Walljasper will likely play a large role in the Tiger's championship. History and statistics make Cheridan Hawkins the favorite. She is an upperclassman pitcher who made the Top 3 finalists last season. So many possibilities!!Related:
