Personal Statement

My name is Bria Hinkle. I am the starter pitcher for both my high school and travel-ball team. I also play middle infield. I began playing varsity ball my 6th grade year and have continued to through my 11th grade year. I work hard for not only myself but those around me. I work extremely hard to accomplish my softball and, especially, my academic goals. I have maintained a 3.9-4.0 GPA throughout all my years of schooling. I hope to graduate college and enter the medical field.

During my free time I enjoy helping the community in any way possible. I help maintain the records and stock the shelves at the food pantry in my home town. I also participate in the annual Coastal Clean-up the town of Cedar Key hosts. Throughout the year I also clean-up around the town as well as the surrounding barrier islands.

06/29/2021 - 2021 Softball Factory Jacksonville Storm Showcase - 16u Bria is a 2023 graduate who is a RHP/UT. She wants to learn and is receptive to change and trying new things to improve her game. In the circle, Bria has a good mound presence with an effective knuckle changeup. She hit a top speed of 57MPH on the weekend. Working on not extending her back legs when she drives off the mound as well as learning an up or down pitch will help Bria be more effective on the mound. In the field, Bria has a strong arm and makes accurate throws. She reads the ball well in the outfield. In the box, she always has a plan at the plate. Not casting her hands and staying connected in her swing will increase Bria's power, as well as a quicker transfer in the field. Overall, Bria has the skill set and tools to improve her game.
