Molly Mayfield '27 Recruiting Profile

“I want to be where the action is!” This was my response at age nine when my first softball coach asked where I wanted to play on the field. I discovered my passion for softball that day and have loved it ever since!

I thrive on the grind—running, lifting, sweating. My enthusiasm for hard work has set me apart and helped me uplift my teammates, shaping me into a solid leader.

I am proud to be a Gifted student with straight A's in a rigorous program. Whether holding a bat or a book, my analytical mind benefits me behind the plate. I learned the action I look for is with my back to the stands.

Leadership comes naturally to me. From Band leadership positions to rising through BSA Scouts to consistently being awarded team Captain, I have continually stepped up, even delivering my middle school commencement speech.

With supportive parents encouraging me to dream big and focus on details, I have excelled. From earning Defensive MVP, to the Triple A Award for Athletics, Attitude, and Academics, I have been regularly recognized. I received Jen Schro's “First Impressions Award” at her catchers’ camp in California, and most recently, I earned Impact Player for my hitting during our High School Varsity Regional Semi-Finals. 

A travel ball coach once called me a game changer, not just behind the plate but in the dugout as well. She said my energy, leadership, and voice change the whole dynamic of the team for the better. Her words inspire me to continue being the best teammate possible.

I am excited to continue growing as an athlete and scholar in college. I am prepared to tackle new challenges, form lasting connections, and make a positive impact, both on the field and in the classroom.

I am searching for a program that aligns with my athletic and academic goals. While I enjoy playing almost anywhere on the softball field, catching is my passion, and I strive to perfect my craft, always wanting to be where the action is!
