With Juarez recovered from biceps surgery, Patty Gasso said the goal of this year was always to build her up to be playing her best softball by the postseason.
Now, as the Oklahoma Sooners start regional play on Friday, Gasso said she’s pleased with where her ace is mentally.
“I think we came to a realization, you know, Giselle was one of the best pitchers in the country in 2019 and I think everyone knew that and then we had this injury,” Gasso said during a Zoom press conference on Wednesday. “It’s a different Giselle with a different route, but I think the hardest part was her pressing to be who she was and accepting that it’s just going to take a different road, and that’s what we’ve been figuring out.”
