Abbie Villanueva '24 Recruiting Profile

Collegiate Goals and aspirations

My long term aspirations right now are to either play in the NPF (National Pro Fastpitch) or be a Collegiate Softball coach. Softball has my heart and I just know that I want to continue to have it in my life.  

I am interested in a school that would challenge me mentally and would fit me socially.

I am also interested in attending a school with a competitive athletic program. I strive in a competitive environment. I have yet to start high school but I have been on my middle school team since 6th grade and played travel softball as well. Softball is the sport that I love and I hope to one day be able to show my abilities in the collegiate field.

What makes you a good candidate for their team?

I will give 100% all the time.  I am fast and dynamic, able to play multiple positions. I am coachable and a quick learner so I will bring a lot to any team. I currently play Catcher, Centerfield, and 3rd Base positions.

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics, and academics?

I will always put the team first before myself so that we are successful. I earned the USSSA Offensive MVP in July 2019 at my first National Championships which our team took first place for our class. Right now my travel team is undefeated in our class for our state for Fastpitch in USSSA.  I keep up with my studies and currently hold a 3.5 GPA in school.
