Coach Becker on Jager: "Amanda will come back to the infield this year at first base when she isn't pitching. Due to an injury last season, she was unable to pitch. This season, she has elevated her pitching game and will be a tough competitor in the circle again. Additionally, she provides us with another powerful bat who will always find a place in the lineup."   Jager's Career Pitching Stats Year W-L ERA App GS CG SHO SV IP H R ER BB SO 2006 5-11 3.54 20 16 7 1 0 93.0 116 68 47 37 69 2007 3-0 1.53 4 3 1 0 0 18.1 14 4 4 5 14 Totals 8-11 3.21 24 19 8 1 0 111.1 130 72 51 42 83   Jager's Career Hitting Stats Year G-GS Avg AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB Slg % BB HP SO OB% SF SH SB-SBA PO A E Fld% 2006 40-36 .301 83 15 25 4 0 3 11 38 .458 18 4 21 .443 1 4 0-0 7 45 2 .963 2007 41-40 .296 115 25 34 8 3 5 26 63 .548 16 7 19 .410 1 4 0-0 15 5 3 .870 Totals 81-76 .298 198 40 59 12 3 8 37 101 .510 34 11 40 .424 2 8 0-0 22 50 5 .935
