It doesnβt appear that UA sophomore leftyΒ Taylor McQuillinΒ will be an every-day pitcher the way former Arizona national-title pitchersΒ Nancy Evans,Β Alicia HollowellΒ andΒ Taryne MowattΒ were. Candrea has anotherΒ strong recruiting class β ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation β and it includes Broomfield, ColoradoβsΒ Taylor Gilmore, who was 22-3 with a 0.98 ERA in 2016. However, prep softball competition in Colorado is nowhere close to that in California and Arizona.Β Shelby Babock, a top UA pitching recruit from Denver five years ago, struggled in the Pac-12. Candreaβs top pitching recruit may beΒ Hanah BowenΒ of Ramona High in Southern California. Bowen was 24-0 with 174 strikeouts in 141 innings. It wouldnβt be a surprise if Candrea acquires a transfer pitcher with notable college softball chops sometimes this summer.Β
Mike Candrea's UA softball squad could be stacked in the circle next season
