Kalle Vasquez '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a lifelong softball player with 11 seasons under my belt.  I am 5'2", 120#, but don't let that fool you;  I work hard everyday to be the best player I can be.  I am supportive of my teammates and always willing to offer words of encouragement.  I am goal driven and detail oriented in life and on the field. 

I am a versatile and coachable player, with experience infield and outfield.  I have most recently been playing middle infield, but have previous experience at 3rd base.  I am also a very aggressive base runner with quick feet and I'm not afraid to get in the dirt and slide for a steal. 

During my freshman season 2018-2019 I was a Varsity starter (where I played infield, outfield and was a relief pitcher); unfortunately I moved after this season and due to UIL rules (even after applying for a waiver with UIL) I was unable to play at the Varsity level during my Sophomore season. 

During the  2019-2020 season, I was awarded the Silver Slugger award; and over that same summer I also participated in the USSSA Southern Nationals tournament in  Plano, TX ; playing with Black Widows 18u (unfortunately after this tournament our coach decided to retire and I am now shopping for a new select team to begin play Spring/Summer 2021).  I also added Athletic Training to my athletic portfolio during this school year; as this will help prepare me for my choice field of study in college as I aspire to become a physical therapist.  

As of the 2020-2021 school year I have now added powerlifting to my athletic portfolio and qualified in my first season for the regional powerlifting meet in the 123# weight class.  (240/125/260)  I am a rotational starter on my high school's varsity squad and am playing mostly outfield, but on occasion have been in at 2nd base.   I am also actively playing with Texas Shock 18u (Garcia), I primarily play short stop and 2nd base and lead the batting rotation.  I will be participating in several select tournaments, camps and combines throughout the summer and fall this year (please see events listed in my information).
