She had a .391 career batting average with 357 hits, 259 runs scored, 113 stolen bases, and 148 RBI. She is still Florida’s all-time leader in hits, runs scored, total bases, batting average, stolen bases, and on-base percentage.

“We are thrilled to add Kelsey to the Buckeye staff,” said Schoenly in a statement. “Her knowledge from competing at the highest levels of our sport will be instrumental in our program taking the next step. She is a natural teacher who loves competition. I know she’ll thrive in this role.”

Pardon the pun, but this sounds like a home run hire for the Ohio State softball program.
