The Chattanooga State Tigers have one of the strongest softball programs in the country when it comes to the junior college ranks and we thought it would be fun for you to get to know the players that make up such a strong program on more of a personal level.
Introducing our newest segment here for ESPN 105.1 The Zone is the “Off The Diamond” segment where I go one on one with the players to find out what they like about Chatt State, why they chose to come here, are they superstitious, who influenced them on or off the field, and much more.
Up to the pitching circle, this week is a freshman pitcher Sam Ryan who has some very unique experience under her belt. The Monroe, New York native will be tasked with carrying the pitching staff this season for the Tigers after Brooke Parrott left for UTC.
Take a listen to her journey, the pitches she throws, her superstitions, and much more.
For all of my inner sports thoughts and to keep up with everything I’m doing around the Chattanooga area follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
