Ashley Grapp '19 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a little girl playing in t-ball I knew this was a sport for me. I played in my local town (leisure services) until I was too old to play. In the off season as an 8th grader, I went to high school practices and got many tips from the seniors which helped a lot. I lift at least 3 times a week if not more and in the off season I also contributed to volleyball and track. My first Varsity game as a freshman, I hit 2 homers and started as a right-fielder. As the year went on, I played a majority of left but depending of the pitcher I would play right. I am the lead off and always strived to be better than my last at bat. I’m always the first on the field and the last to leave and always see something to work or improve on. In my opinion I am quick on my feet and fast to the ball.  Being able to play with seniors that have gone to college to continue their dreams, I strived to be like that. I also play like it was my last time every time, because you never know when it could be your last time doing anything. My biggest priority as a player and teammate is to have my team succeed and work as hard to be success. There is never a time where I'm not going 110% because I believe that if you're not going to give it your all, don't do it at all. I am a team player and I will play anywhere needed because I am a very adjustable, dependent player and look forward to the season all the time.
