Coach Becker on Harrington: "Hitters need not hit the ball to the area between first and second base. It just won't get through to the outfield. Harrington blesses the infield with a huge range and a phenomenal glove. Offensively, she will keep the defense on her heels with quick slaps and gap power."   Harrington'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% 2007 45-45 .276 145 31 40 5 2 4 18 61 .421 13 2 21 .344 0 8 6-6 94 86 5 .973 2008 51-50 .325 151 29 49 12 2 2 19 71 .470 28 0 21 .430 0 7 5-8 99 102 9 .957 Totals 96-95 .301 296 60 89 17 4 6 37 132 .446 41 2 42 .389 0 15 11-14 193 188 14 .965
