Sawyer has also recorded 70 put-outs. Although statistics are important in measuring the worth of an athlete, sometimes to evaluate a player's true value, other factors must be taken into account. What cannot be counted in a box score is the leadership an athlete can bring to a team.
Heart is the one aspect that sets great athletes apart from the rest.
It is what truly inspires us to watch sports and keeps us coming back for more. The UCSB women's softball team has one such athlete, and she is junior second baseman Kim Sawyer.

From then on, there was no looking back.
