Progression

[edit]

Virginia Augusta ended her career pitching a win vs. the Akron Zips. She was one of the earliest NCAA Division I pitchers to accomplish a sub-0.86 WHIP for a four-year career.[74] She surpassed the career WHIP record held by Stacey Johnson, who had passed the record originally set by Debbie Doom in consecutive years from 1985-87. From the list, Brenda Bixby, Debby Day, Christy Larsen and Angie Lear were the first to pitch their entire careers from 43 ft., whereas all others prior to the 1988 season pitched from 40 ft. distance to the mound.
