Arizona softball hasn’t lived up to expectations this season, currently sitting at fourth in the Pac-12 despite being picked to finish second.
The Wildcats have fallen outside of the Top 10 in some polls and don’t have the look of an elite team. They are 2-8 against ranked opponents, an alarming stat with the postseason only a month away.
Why has Arizona struggled against quality teams? Here’s a look at some of the problems.
Clutch hits have been hard to come by
Despite having one of the most decorated lineups in the country, the Wildcats only have 11 hits in 70 at-bats with runners in scoring position against ranked teams. That’s a .157 average for a team that is hitting .323 for the season.
