The Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) hosted its first draft, demonstrating a significant focus on pitching talent. Of the first eight players drafted, seven were pitchers, highlighting the competitive edge that strong pitching provides in the sport. The AUSL, featuring teams coached by softball legends, will conduct a 30-game season across various cities, with an aim to eventually expand team rosters. The draft included notable players like Lexi Kilfoyl and Maya Brady, indicating a bright future for women's professional softball.
In this sport, pitching is huge. Pitching and defense win championships, and that hasn't changed in the history of the game.
The AUSL has four teams -- the Bandits, Blaze, Talons and Volts -- that will play a 30-game schedule in June and July.
