Anna Kate Hartley '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5’2 second baseman/shortstop from Georgia. I will be a class of 2027 and will play softball with the Appling County High School Lady Pirates, with the 2023-2024 season being my freshman season. My softball journey started in 2016 and I have developed a great passion for the sport. In 2020 I was playing outfield and batting mid to lower lineup.  That was fine, to start, but as I continued to play and grow as an athlete, I wasn’t satisfied. I knew I could do better.  I knew I could be a true utility player. I began working more on my fielding and hitting.  I am now primarily a second baseman, but I can fill in at shortstop, or outfield if needed.  In addition, I am currently batting first on my travel ball teams.  My typical week consists of 4 days working out on the field with my high school team and hitting practice three days a week.   I currently hold a 3.5 GPA.  I am looking for a college that fits me athletically and challenges me academically.
