Best ever? Oklahoma’s Jocelyn Alo among softball’s greats
Associated PressNORMAN, Okla. — Jocelyn Alo brought the energy level to a fever pitch on a muggy Friday afternoon at Oklahoma’s Marita Hynes Field. “Some hitters’ margin for error is like, super small — they have to be close to perfect to get a really good hit or to get a home run,” said Sierra Romero, an Athletes Unlimited player who hit 82 home runs for Michigan from 2013-2016. “I think any baseball coach who has their eye on softball would look at her and her swing and say that’s an elite swing, regardless,” he said, noting Alo has great “barrel awareness.” “It’s so difficult to get her out because there’s no there’s no holes in her swing,” he said. Good swing movements, strong and makes good decisions, doesn’t swing at bad pitches, swings at good pitches.” Pendley said Alo makes the multi-step sequence required to swing a bat look effortless. “The one thing she doesn’t do is try to hit home runs,” Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said.
