Jolene Henderson, Senior, Pitcher, California
Throws: Right, Bats: Right
Overview:
Henderson posted big numbers in 2012 in arguably the country’s toughest conference. She was the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, going 38-4 with 332 strikeouts, 17 shutouts and a 1.29 ERA. Henderson led the Bears to the 2012 College World Series with a 4-0 record and 3 shutouts at the Berkeley Regional.
Final Projection:
A tremendous year in 2012, Henderson will be a welcomed addition to any professional roster. A strikeout pitcher will always get noticed, but her CWS performance (12 earned runs, 28 hits and 11 walks in 27 innings) will also be of note. 2013 will likely see the Bear’s national title hopes hinge on what Henderson brings to the post-season table.
