Nina Korgan

Nina Korgan (February 1, 1916—July 19, 2009) was a right-handed women’s fast-pitch softball pitcher in the 1930s and 1940s, possibly the most dominant women’s fast-pitch softball pitcher of all time. Nicknamed “Tiger,” she stood 5’ 10” and weighed 165 pounds (at least one source said 5’ 11", 180 pounds),[1] and pitched at the top of the elite tier of national amateur women’s softball from 1935 to 1948.
