Emily Byers '21 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a junior at Walnut Grove High School in Loganville, GA.  I have played competitive travel ball since I was 9 years old.  I have been taking pitching lessons with my pitching coach, Jody Wisdom, for the past 7  years.  I have taken hitting lessons for several years and have been with my current hitting coach, Tory Acheson, for a year and a half.  My freshman year I began as a JV starter and was pulled up to Varsity in late September.  I got in some meaningful innings in some important games.  We made it to the Elite 8 and finished 5th in State for 5A.  My sophomore year, I was on Varsity for my sophomore season and my team made another strong run into the post-season playoffs through Region, Sweet Sixteen, the Elite 8, and State.  I'm currently still in my junior season, as we are about to head to State. I have logged about 105 innings this season so far, and have had some great games. I would like to continue my softball career in college at a school that allows me to prepare for some type of career in the medical field as I am not sure what specific major I will take on. I greatly appreciate any time and consideration that you may give me.
