When you see Loran Parker standing at the pitcher’s mound in Auckland this weekend, she’ll probably be wearing a face mask. The White Sox pitcher has taken to wearing a steel face guard to help keep herself injury-free. Ben Campbell/phototek Loran Parker started playing softball at the age of five. Each week, Parker has a total of three pitching training sessions, two team trainings, one White Sox training and a few strength and conditioning workouts. There is no doubt that Parker will still be playing softball in six years time.
