Maggie Kaercher '15 Recruiting Profile

I play all outfield positions on my travel team (Ann Arbor Gold) and play strictly center field on my high school team. I usually bat 2nd in the lineup, being both a power hitter and a slapper, and utilizing many other types of small ball. I finished this past summer batting a .476 average, .625 true average, and a .542 on base percentage with my travel team that won the NSA State Championship tournament 16u the year before. I am currently training with Optimal Performance Specialists at Extra Innings in Jackson, Mi, where I workout specifically targeting areas that will improve my level of play. One thing I am very proud of is being told I am considered "extremely coachable" by almost all of my past and current coaches and trainers. Having played softball among other sports all my life, it was obvious it is my first love in the world of athletics. Before my junior year season I had never been 100% sure that I wanted to play competitively past high school, but once my coaches started asking me where I wanted to go–assuming I would play at the collegiate level–it was obvious to me that I wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps play ball in college. This being true, academics have always been my first priority. I want to study pre-medicine, and continue from there studying surgery; so, a school with a solid pre-medical program is a must. I am very serious about putting in the time and effort to play softball at the collegiate level, doing so is my dream. I would love to be in contact with any coaches that would consider me as a potential athlete.
