She started pitching at age 9, and she could not throw a strike in those early days. “I was really bad,” Picasso said. “I put a hole in my pitching coach’s wall because I hit it so many times in the span of a month. My pitching coach told me I would never be a pitcher, so I stopped for a little bit. But then, I picked it back up a year later, and now I’m going to college for it.”
