My daughter played in college. She ran 2.7 seconds from home to first. But she was very fast. The average is around 3.0 seconds. I hear Natasha Whatley runs under 2.5

You would probably get more and better information on a player, coach or team board than an umpire's.

Good luck.

Several years ago, the UCLA shortstop was timed on a slap hit at 1.9 seconds. Was that girl Natasha?

If it was in the last 4-5 years, yes, it was Natasha Watley.
