Madeline (Maddie) Holly '24 Recruiting Profile

In college, I plan to study sports journalism and my primary aspiration is becoming a sports journalist for ESPN.  My main athletic goal is to become a college softball player who competes at the highest level.  

I am a good candidate for your team because I am coachable, determined, able to make adjustments, hardworking, passionate, and most importantly, a great teammate.

Character is something I work very hard at.

I work to hold myself and my teammates accountable and always strive to be a positive force for my team.  My work ethic is second to none.  I am always willing to put in the extra work and support my teammates.  I am compassionate and trustworthy, and through this, I am able to connect with my teammates and create bonds that last a lifetime.

Athletically, I am lefty, power hitting catcher and third baseman.  I generally bat 3^rd or 4^th in the lineup and am known for my ability to make consistent, solid contact.  Behind the plate, I am a calming force for my pitcher.  I work hard on my framing skills to make sure I get as many strikes for them as I can.  I battle to block pitches in the dirt and to make strong throws to the bases when runners are stealing.

Academically I am a model student and have been named an Academic All-Star and Model Mustang at my middle school.  I have carried a high GPA through middle school and high school by working hard to complete assignments, studying for tests, remaining attentive in class, and always being prepared to learn.
