I’ve paraphrased the section while keeping the key details intact. Let me know if you need any further refinements!
Oklahoma (30-1, 5-1) has already faced several strong pitching staffs this season, but the Sooners have yet to encounter a pitcher quite like Pickens.
OU third baseman Nelly McEnroe-Marinas mentioned that her team’s ace, Sam Landry, is the hardest-throwing pitcher she has ever seen in person. However, the Oklahoma captain remained tight-lipped about the team’s strategy for facing Pickens.
“Close my eyes and swing,” she joked.
Pickens has recorded 31 strikeouts in 24 innings against SEC opponents but has also given up 10 walks.
Additionally, OU will need to be ready for Sage Mardjetko, who has tallied 14 strikeouts and seven walks in 12 conference innings, along with Erin Nuwer and Peyton Tanner, who have thrown 6 1/3 innings and 2 1/3 innings, respectively, in conference play.
