VYPE 2022 Softball Preview: No. 12 Santa Fe Indians
The Indians reached the third round of the playoffs a year ago but fell to Crosby, ending their year at 20-5 overall.
The good thing for Santa Fe is the majority of their talent is back, including a trio of pitchers in the circle led by University of Washington-commit Sidne Peters. As a sophomore last year, Peters led the staff throwing striking out 137 with a 1.10 ERA. She was the District Co-MVP after also hitting .390 at the plate.
Reagan Smith (UTSA) is also set to return in the circle. Other key returners include Texas Tech-commit Makenna Mitchell, who will hold down shortstop after hitting .446 with 20 RBIs; catcher Brooklyn Spencer and first baseman Ashley Nickerson (Eastern New Mexico).
Nickerson led the team in RBIs a year ago with 30, followed by Peters and Mitchell. Santa Fe has been a perennial playoff squad, but can they make a run in 2022 under third-year coach Christina Jaques?
