Sarah McKee '20 Recruiting Profile

First and foremost I am a student first and have never brought anything but straight A's home from kindergarten through 8th grade. I made the junior honor society last year, as well as achieving #1 status in 7th and 8^th grade honors math. I also had a pass + in language arts, math and science on the 2014 I-Step testing. This year I was one of 5 incoming freshmen that was inducted in to the Student Athletic Advisory Committee which represents respect, honesty, sportsmanship, leadership and thinking positive through athletics in life by setting a good example for other to follow.

Softball is my passion I truly love this game, I like to believe I am a true student of the game. I have been playing since 8U req. and got on a 10U travel ball team. After 10U I tried out for 12U and made it but it was too far away at the time so I tried out for Mafia 14U and made that team also. I was 11 years old and was playing on a 14U second year team as starting catcher with a batting average of 424 and on base percentage of 536. My coach moved up to 16U the next season and asked me to go to 16U with them. I didn’t.

I played my first season of Middle School Softball and was the team captain, leadoff batter and starting catcher with a 536 batting average. In my second year of middle school ball I was 3rd batter in the lineup batting a 586 and starting catcher. My 8^th grade year I was team captain, leadoff batter with a 568 batting average and starting catcher.

I also take batting lessons and catching lessons weekly. My Lessons coach has asked me to start giving catching lessons to other girls that come to him for catching lessons. So I am currently actively giving catching leassons. I have learned to call games and I know when and why to call certain pitches depending on the pitcher, batter or runners. I have called 7 1/2 games last season and all the games my 7^th grade season as well as all the game my 8^th grade season.

My best pop time is 1.91 seconds.

My dad is an avid camera buff and has a Facebook page for my team/teams it is called Fastpitch. Check it out to see action shots of my teams. By the way Softball Magazine did a small article on me in their first 2014 issue and I also got a 4 page spread in their 3rd 2014 issue their W C W S Addition.
