This post was originally published on this site.

Auburn commit Jenna Rapp is now the back-to-back BLITZ Player of the Year for softball. The junior continues to dazzle on the diamond as a hitter and fielder, putting so many school records far out of reach.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

These are video game type of numbers. In 102 plate appearances, Rapp posted a .686 OBP and .630 AVG (both school records). She broke her own school records in homeruns (16) and runs (39), and drove in 35 runs with 12 doubles and five triples. Just insane!
