Aereonna Baker '26 Recruiting Profile

I’m a hard-working honor student who always puts academics first. I’m a member of Student Council, Key Club, and National Honors Society and am the Vice President for class of 2026. I thrive in the classroom, but my true passion lies on the softball diamond. I've been playing this sport for the past 9 years, starting from rec league and now playing on a B level travel team.

Softball has become my everything, and I dream of playing in college. In my freshman year of high school, I was honored to be a Varsity starter. My coach recognized my potential and had me play various positions throughout the season. From 2nd base, to shortstop, to 3rd base (my main position), and even the outfield, I loved representing my school and giving my all on the field. Sophomore year, I assisted my team to a regional runner up title.  

This summer and fall, i'll continue playing for Focus Fastpitch 18u - Arcanum, Ohio. We have a lighter schedule this year due to many graduating players, but I intend to sub for various other teams once our season comes to an end. As a '26, I haven't set specific expectations for the level of college softball I can play, but I know I have incredible capabilities and that I'm determined to develop further.

I'm beyond excited for the journey and the recruitment process that awaits me. It's going to be an amazing adventure, and I can't wait to see where it takes me. Thanks for being here to support me along the way!
