If you read up on her, she's a knuckleballer. The knuckleball is not a fast pitch. She doesn't need to be a guy (and thus get the extra Y-chromosome upper-body-strength edge) to be a badass at the knuckleball.

There is a (I'm sure, small, slight, vanishing, and other marginalizing words, with which to help you marginalize the awesomeness of the situation) chance that she was actually drafted because she's a badass. Shocking, I know. Those women, they keep thinking they actually matter, get back in the kitchen, etc.

If she was drafted for her l33t fastball you might have a point, but I don't think you actually have one here.
