2020 Highlights
April 2020
October 2020Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Delaney Belding, I am a junior attending Herbert Henry Dow High school in Midland, Michigan this year.
I have played softball since I was 4 years old and I pride myself in being a strong hitter and very well rounded player with experience at every position on the field. I began playing travel softball at age 9 playing 10u. I've been playing travel softball for 7 years now. I currently play with the 18u Midland Lady Explorers. I bat left handed and throw right handed. I’m a 5’6 starting pitcher (RHP) wearing #13. My secondary position is shortstop. I've been pitching for 6 years and I've been receiving pitching lessons for 5 years. My fastest pitch speed so far has been 62 mph. At the moment I throw 5 pitches: fastball, change up, drop ball, curve ball, and a rise ball. I’ve had experience playing anywhere and everywhere on the field. I love working to get better at softball and trying to reach the best of my abilities. Academically I strive for really good grades and a 4.0, at the moment I have a 3.7 GPA. I focus a lot on school and work really hard in school as well as on the softball field.
As for college softball, getting 4 more years to play the sport I love is my dream. College softball is my dream. I'd love to play shortstop or pitch but I would play anywhere I'm needed. I love softball and I hope to continue to play for another four years after high school in college, another four years to get to the best of my abilities, another four years to play the sport I love.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to view my profile.
