Message: [QUOTE="Argonaut, post: 4160478, member: 9658"] An awesome article in the NYT about Genevieve Beacom, an Australian baseball prospect who, at 17, isn't interested in softball and is still playing at a high enough level to compete with the guys. I love that she's getting her chance with Australia baseball and hope that she gets a shot with a US university! "At 6 feet 2 inches, with a fastball that tops out at 84 miles per hour, a solid changeup and that elliptical curve, Beacom is essentially a typical left-handed prospect who happens to be a woman." "After watching Beacom zip the ball in a recent bullpen session, flinging it with good command and movement, Moylan turned to his bench coach, Jon Deeble, and said, “Jon, this girl needs to be on our team.” “It had nothing to do with boy, girl, woman, man, whatever you call it,” Moylan said by telephone. “It was strictly that I was looking at what she was doing with the baseball, and it was fantastic. I wanted her on my team.”" [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/12/sports/baseball/genevieve-beacom-australia.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
