Mackenzie Langan '22 Recruiting Profile

I have played softball for 5 years and I hope to continue playing softball in college. My primary position is pitcher and my secondary position is first base. On my travel team I am considered one of the leaders. During the ups and downs of the season I am encouraging and always try to keep the team positive. As a pitcher my team looks at me for confidence, work ethic and I try to lead by example during games and practices.

My Fastball is currently 62-65 mph. I consistently use my curve, change-up, screw, and rise ball. I am known for my curve and rise ball.

I play for BATS Academy 16U National. This summer was very challenging. When Covid-19 hit we obviously lost our high school softball season, and we were one of the highest ranked D1 teams in Wisconsin. Our coaches did a great job finding tournaments for us.

Not only did we play, we played great! We won 2 of 6 tournaments finishing the season winning the Nashville Music World Series. With the help of my team I had my best performance 21IP, 37K, 9H,2ER, 5BB.

I am now one of the oldest on the team this year and we are hoping to have a more normal season finishing with Nationals in California – Our team is the only team from Wisconsin to ever qualify for Nationals.

I am interested in pursuing a major in Biology or Kinesiology towards becoming a Physician Assistant. I am looking for a school that will provide opportunities to excel athletically and academically as I prepare for my future career.

My dad was my pitching coach until 3 seasons ago when he said it was time for someone better to take me to the next level. For the past 3 years I have been working with a Tincher Pitching coach who has helped me to realize my potential in velocity, movement and control. My dad is still my sitting on a bucket catching for me and giving advice.

Since 3rd grade I have played on competitive basketball, volleyball and softball teams. I decided my Freshman year to stop playing basketball and stopped Volleyball my Sophomore year to truly work on Softball & my pitching. I have signed on with Esia Rivera to help increase my Pitching speed while still working with my Pitching coaches.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
