No pitcher in college softball wants to throw to Bri Ellis. Given the choice, most players throwing from the circle would rather intentionally walk her every time. And if pitchers actually have to throw to the senior first baseman for Arkansas, they don’t even want to flirt with the strike zone. Because if the barrel of Ellis’ bat meets the highlighter-yellow-colored ball coming her way, she’s going to try to send it to the moon.
