Personal Statement

On Deck Allister Index 86.84



2018 FloSoftball Ranking #94


94 | Giana Raitano, 3B/C | Beverly Bandits Premier - Allen

Big Ten schools have been keeping tabs on third baseman/catcher Giana Raitano, and who wouldn't be interested in a player whose style of play is reminiscent of Michigan alum shortstop Abby Ramirez? A solid switch-hitter, Raitano can put the ball out of the park from either side. Equally impressive on defense, she can maneuver on the field from third base to behind the plate.

  • Hello, My name is Steven Ball. I have been a professional hitting and pitching instructor for over 30 years. I have also coached fast pitch for over 20 years, including being a head coach for the Beverly Bandits. I am writing this on behalf of Giana Raitano, who currently plays for the Beverly Bandits 14u Premier team. I would like to start out by saying I have been G's hitting instructor since she was 9 years old. I knew from the moment I met her that she was the real deal. When I became the head coach for the 12u Beverly Bandits Futures team I made sure that I took G with me. She is a fantastic softball player and I can't even begin to tell you what a great person she is. She is as much fun to coach as she is to watch. She is a total team player and is extremely coachable. I would have her on my team any day. I would also like to compliment her parents. They are remarkable people and it shows in the demeanor of their daughter. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Steven Ball, Owner Fast Ball Softball Instruction Head Coach Tinley Park Rockers 16U 708 650-2255 [email protected]
