Personal Statement

I am a 5'4" seasoned softball player from Pittsburgh, PA with a ton of speed to bring to the table. I have played softball since the age of five, and started playing travel ball at age twelve. I am a patient contact hitter with power. I can play short stop but I thrive in the outfield. My speed and versatility will allow me to make an immediate impact on any team. I currently play for Ohio Blast, and played for Pittsburgh Power for two years and Pittsburgh Lady Bulldogs for one year. I will graduate from South Fayette High School in 2023. I plan to go into sports science, kinesiology and/or therapy. I am looking for a school that provides a good education and athletics balance, and am interested in exploring all of my options for school location and size.
