Paige Murphy '21 Recruiting Profile

I picked up my first softball when I was nine!  Since then, I have been focused, to play at the college level. I am a driven person both academically and athletically. I attend a very competitive high school,  Fayetteville- Manlius, which is ranked #1 in the Syracuse, Metro NY rankings. Statewide, we are 67th and we  proudly rank 711th nationally. I am an honor to high honor roll student, enrolled in both regent and college level courses. My current GPA is a 3.7. 

I have been successful at playing all positions. Once my coaches identified the natural curve of my pitch, I started to hone in on pitching exclusively. I have been working with a former Seton Hall pitcher to develop form, speed, accuracy with corners and spins. My strongest pitches are rise, drop and fast. I am currently working to better my curve and back door curve. 

I train year round for softball while playing other sports. During the winter months I also snowboard and am passionate about my job as a snowboard instructor at Toggenburg Ski Center. I instruct all ages  however enjoy the little ones the most!

I am very excited to play softball for a strong college program while persuing my goal to become a NICU nurse!
