Personal Statement

Ever since age 4 when I started playing ball, I began to dream of playing in college and even beyond. I love to pitch because I am involved in every play and I enjoy my pitching lessons while working on my own to improve. As a pitcher I work well under pressure and give 100% on every pitch. I love to cheer on my teammates, and I trust my defense when I pitch to back me up. I pride myself on hitting my spots and my strikeout percentage is over 25% while only walking 6% of the batters I face.

I also love to hit, and I feel I have an advantage as a pitcher at the plate with pitch selection and understanding what the pitcher is trying to do in various situations. I hit for power and battle every at-bat. When I am not pitching I also play first base or outfield.

My grades are equally important to me and I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I feel I apply above average softball IQ on the field.

I love learning new things and I enjoy being coached. I appreciate you considering me a recruit and tracking my progress. I look forward to learning more about your softball program and school.
