Arizona softball freshman Dakota Kennedy has proved she belongs, slashing .357/.451/.636 with 10 home runs in her first season as a Wildcat; the UA faces ASU in the Pac-12 Tournament play-in game Wednesday.
PJ Brown Dakota Kennedy prepared for this moment her entire life — well, at least since she started playing softball around age 7.
“I think it's just knowing who I am and knowing I'm here for a reason; I belong,” Kennedy said. “Also, my teammates just having my back. They believe in me, the coaches believing in me, my family, all my supporters believing in me. Just knowing I can be here. Kennedy, who has started 47 of 51 games this season, has a slash line of .357/.451/.636. She is tied for 11th in the Pac-12 with 10 home runs – her most recent a three-run blast in Sunday’s 9-4 win over Cal. She has 50 hits — including a couple of grand slams, two triples, five doubles — and driven in 35 runs.
Her approach, whether she is hitting or fielding — she has only one error this season — is the same:"Ffocus on the task at hand when you're doing it.” This is also where she got her athleticism. Her first coach was her dad, who pitched at Grambling State — her connection to baseball. Marvina was a former basketball player at UTEP.
