Former Shocker All-American shortstop Sydney McKinney joins us from her new job as assistant softball coach at Marshall University. We discuss her move to coaching, how often she says the same things her Shockers coaches said and her advice for recruits considering options. We learn that people in West Virginia put butter in their coffee. We also talk about Athletes Unlimited pro softball coming to Wilkins Stadium in June, how she saw Shocker softball grow and more.

At Wichita State, she earned All-American honors in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and led the nation in batting average in 2022 (.522) and 2023 (.520). She owns WSU records for career batting average, hits, runs, on-base percentage and more.
