Ohio State softball adds Kelsey Stewart-Hunter to coaching staff

On Friday, the Ohio State softball program announced the addition of Kelsey Steward-Hunter to the coaching staff of head coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly.

Stewart-Hunter is a two-time national champion with the University of Florida and was a part of the 2020 U.S. Olympic squad. She was the 2015 SEC Player of the Year. She played in 264 games during her Gators career.

She had a .391 career batting average with 357 hits, 259 runs scored, 113 stolen bases, and 148 RBI. She is still Floridaโ€™s all-time leader in hits, runs scored, total bases, batting average, stolen bases, and on-base percentage.

โ€œWe are thrilled to add Kelsey to the Buckeye staff,โ€ said Schoenly in a statement. โ€œHer knowledge from competing at the highest levels of our sport will be instrumental in our program taking the next step. She is a natural teacher who loves competition. I know sheโ€™ll thrive in this role.โ€

Pardon the pun, but this sounds like a home run hire for the Ohio State softball program.
