🔼 Still Pitching In. FAU Utility/Pitcher Trinity Schlotterbeck was ranked as the nation's No. 2 two-way player for Softball America. 

In May, Schlotterbeck was ranked No. 3 in the two-way rankings. Earlier in the month, she was named a Softball American All-American and ranked No. 67 in the top 100 players from SA.

The graduate student spent the 2024 season as a starting pitcher and one of the strongest hitters in the lineup. Schlotterbeck completed the season with a 2.67 ERA and ten complete games in the circle with a .293 batting average at the plate.

🦉 TRIVIA ANSWER BY POWER OWLS

The Answer: At the time in 2019, Zach Schneider became the fifth Owl to begin a pro career with the Red Sox, including C.J. Chatham, who was the highest draft pick in FAU history as a second-rounder in 2016, so there were four Owls before him.

The previous three before Schneider and Chatham from years past were, like Schneider, all pitchers: Will Mann (a free agent in 2006), Randy Beam (18th round in 2004) and Tommy MacLane (19th round in 2002).

🦉 Have a great Monday, y’all
