Abbey Huerta '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I am Abbey Huerta! I attend DePaul College Preparatory High School in Chicago, Illinois. I have been playing softball for as long as I can remember and have been pitching since I was 9, which I then grew a passion for. I have 2 older brothers who have a lot of love for baseball as well and my dad who has been coaching them and helping me since we were able to hold a baseball/softball. They have all been helping me along the way to be the player I am today. I have grown up to learn from what my dad has taught them as a coach, seeing and learning what my brothers had done and putting it into a softball perspective and going to pitching clinics. The pitching clinic I currently attend is Practice Pro lead by Abby Hanrahan. As a player I try to have empathy for all people surrounding me in a game, show leadership on and off the field, and keep a strong and positive attitude. I as well would say I am very persistent and try my best to rebound in any situation I am put in that may not go as planned. In school I try my very best and although I have struggled along the way, I have been able to be successful and proud by the end of the semester. Outside of softball and academics, as a person, I try my best to help others to the best of my abilities and I as well enjoy working with students with special needs, autism, and any other setback they may struggle with. In the future I plan on majoring in the medical field, going to medical school, and then become a pediatrician. Thank you so much for your time!
