Which pitchers should make the USA Softball roster for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics?

Counting Cat Osterman, who announced her comeback last week, 10 pitchers have accepted invitations to try out for the U.S. national team that will compete in the 2019 Pan-Am Games and likely will form the foundation of the Olympic roster in 2020. Here's the problem: There's room for three pitchers, maybe four, on the final roster of 15. Some agonizing decisions loom. If the Olympics started tomorrow, whom would you take to Tokyo?
 
Buckeye blitz: No. 10 Ohio State blows out No. 4 Michigan

The Wolverines were two victories away from their first conference championship since 2004 and a trip to the College Football Playoff, facing an Ohio State team that has looked discombobulated on defense and one-dimensional on offense much of the season. Looking to snap a six-game losing streak against the Buckeyes (11-1, 8-1, No. 10 CFP) and get coach Jim Harbaugh his first victory in four tries in the rivalry known simply as The Game, the Wolverines (10-2, 8-1, No. 4 CFP) wilted.

Ohio State (8-1 11-1) vrs Northwestern (8-1 8-4) for the Big Ten Conference Championship.
 
The College Football Playoff Semifinals are set.

Alabama (13-0) - Oklahoma (12-1)
Clemson (13-0) - Notre Dame (12-0)

UCF (12-0) left out again, after another undrafted season.
