Mercedes Eggers '20 Recruiting Profile

I became interested in softball at a very young age. I started playing league softball at age 6 and haven’t stopped playing since. I moved on from league ball to middle school ball, high school ball and travel ball afterwards. I’ve learned a numerous amount of information about myself from playing softball. I’ve learned that I am an out of the box thinker, I am better under pressure and I need a little push to play at full potential.

Academically, I am an honor roll student in high school and maintain a gpa of 3.5, and i’m looking to do just as well in college. My goals academically would be to complete my degree with good grades while being involved in many other clubs as well. 

As for sports, I am a slapper and outfielder. I have played every position throughout my softball career but have stuck to outfield, as I believe I am the best there. I switched to the left handed side when I was 12 due to my speed and have continued to work from that side since.
