Magali Frezzotti is set to become the program’s 5th head coach. She’s not a new name to the program, she’s been here in West Lafayette as an assistant the last 2 seasons.
“I am beyond excited and honored for this opportunity,” said Frezzotti. “I want to thank Director of Athletics Mike Bobinski, Deputy Athletics Director Tiffini Grimes and President Mung Chiang for their trust and support of my vision for Purdue softball. Purdue Athletics has a strong tradition of excellence, championships and success, and I have every intention to build upon that legacy. I am overjoyed at the opportunity to coach this group of women and connect with alums in West Lafayette over the coming years. I have high expectations for Boilermaker softball and I am very much looking forward to hitting the ground running. Boiler up, hammer down and Hail Purdue.” – Coach Frezzotti
Frezzotti came to Purdue from Montana, where she was the assistant softball coach from September 2018 to August 2021. While with the Grizzlies, she was responsible for the development of hitters and catchers, while assisting with infielders. Defensively, Frezzotti oversaw the catcher’s defensive skills, leading to improvements in footwork, glove positioning, hop-reading and more.
While with Montana, Frezzotti helped the Grizzlies to a program-best 16-3 record at home, a third-place finish in the Big Sky Conference during her inaugural year in 2019 and helped the program to more than 55 wins under her tutelage.
While the Boilers have improved defensively, it’s the bats that have gone quiet. Purdue was 12th in the Big Ten in hits, 13th in runs scored, 14th in slugging, and 13th in total bases. They also had 5 games where they failed to record a hit.
The next chapter of Purdue softball is here!
Excited to announce @CoachMFrezzotti as the fifth head coach in program history! 🚂
