TROY, Ala. – Leanna Johnson was tabbed as the No. 6 pitcher in D1 Softball's analytical rankings the organization announced Thursday.
The analytical rankings are based off of three categories: zone control, pitch ability and durability. Johnson, who pitched 94 of the teams 151 total innings in 2020, owned the strike zone ranking sixth nationally in strikeouts with 137 while also holding opponents just a .153 batting average.
"I am so incredibly proud of Leanna," head coach Beth Mullins said. "She is such a competitor and just a true Trojan through and through. I am really excited to get back out there with her and this team and compete this upcoming season."
The Brantley, Ala., native has already etched her name into Troy's single-season record book in victories, strikeouts and shutouts after her freshman campaign. Johnson was on track to topple her 2019 shutout record after opening this past season with seven, which ranked first nationally.
