Junior Emma Hoyle is having her most success at Greene County High School’s softball pitcher, and strikeouts is a big reason why. Now in her fourth season as the primary pitcher for the Rams, Hoyle entered the 2022 campaign with a goal of striking out more hitters, and she certainly has done that.

The right-hander is 12-11 for the 12-12 Rams with 213 strikeouts in 152 innings pitched. In 2021, she fanned 109 batters, with 44 whiffs in 2019, and 51 in ’18. By comparison, current Ram assistant coach Marissa Promes was instrumental in Greene County finishing in third place at the Class 3A State Tournaments in 2014 and ’15. Promes had 241 strikeouts in 230 innings in 2015 and she K’d 226 batters in 223 innings in ’14.
