Kodi Rizzo turned in nothing short of a gem on Tuesday: she struck out 18 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her eighth in a row with more than six strikeouts. This year, Rizzo has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of .32 over 65 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.508/0.617/1.095 with 44 runs and 7 home runs, plus 10 stolen bases.
