Personal Statement

I am a true team player. I will do what’s necessary for our team to win. I am and have always been a competitor. I started playing tee ball at age 4. I have a very big heart and love the game of softball. I work hard on and off the field. I am a RH pitcher and corners player with 3 main pitches(5 total), can hit my locations and have good stamina. I am an A/B honor roll student. I’m involved with other community sports. I have a job with the county where I keep scores for Rec league basketball of all ages.
I feel what makes me different than others is my ability to pitch 5-7 innings with consistency and I have a very strong confident bat. I hit my first homer at age 9.

Events

Camp/Event
2021 Softball Factory Pre-Season Prospects Tournament
1/08/21 to 1/10/21
Kaidence continues to show as a prospect on the diamond. On the mound, she shows a repeatable delivery, allowing her arm action to work loose to the plate. Fastball showed a range of 52-56 mph. Changeup sits 35-38 mph with tumbling action. Curveball sits 51-54 mph. Control is solid as she attacks hitters and throws strikes with all her pitches. At 1B, she displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean and presents well out front. She moves well laterally and covers ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, she shows a squared setup. Hands are quick (66 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. She stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will continue to increase as she utilizes her lower half more efficiently. At the event, she was 5 for 11. Mental makeup is a plus as she is very coachable and works hard to be the best player she can be.
