If we get Brenlee, our pitching staff looks like:
JR Teagan Kavan (staff ace) - 48-8, 2.18 ERA, 365 K in 337.2 IP, 8 saves, 2x All American
SR Citlaly Gutierrez - 34-9, 2.17 ERA, 208 K in 283.2 IP, 7 saves
SO Cam Salmon - 7-2, 2.48 ERA, 66 K in 62 IP, 1 save
SO Brenlee Gonazles - 2-0, 2.84 ERA, 12 K in 12.1 IP
FR Hannah Wells - #1 pitcher in the 2025 class, National and Texas Gatorade Player of the Year
That is a salty looking staff. No pressure on Hannah Wells at all.
If Mike can do with Brenlee what he did with Estelle, it would be a weapon out of the bullpen
Czech came to Texas after one year at NCST (3.14 ERA in 73.2 innings with 39 strikeouts). Went 34-9 at Texas with a 2.78 ERA and 183 strikeouts in 249.2 IP in 3 seasons. Especially as Mike bulked up the staff with Mac/TK/Cit and Czech didn't have to pitch as many games, so she became more effective as a lefty changeup out of the pen as she went from starting 16 games as a sophomore to only 5 as a senior (30 games and 103.2 IP as a sophomore -> 24 games and 87.1 IP as a junior -> 23 games and 58.2 IP as a senior)
