Personal Statement

I have been playing softball since I was seven years old. I realized at a young age how much hard work and effort you have to put into this sport. To be successful I had to do more than just show up to practice, I had to try hard, and work outside of practice. Softball has taught me more than just the game, it has taught me many life lessons and has given me many great friendships.

Outside of softball, I play volleyball and tennis. Playing multiple sports is a good way to keep in shape and good for staying active. Balancing school, life, and sports is a lot of work but it is worth it in the end.

Madison Taeger is a 5-foot-5, class of 2024 2B/3B, SS, OF from Burlington, IA who attends Burlington HS. Madison is an emerging player who has a solid fundamental foundation that should allow her to continue growing her game as she moves through her last three HS and travel ball years. In addition to her evolving abilities on the diamond, Madison is also an accomplished student in the classroom. She ran a 6.00 40-yard dash and was timed at 4.00 from home to first. She also posted a 5'9 standing broad jump. A primary MIF, Madison is noticeably athletic and has a sure and certain set-up. She moves quickly to position and field. She shows soft hands and fluid and consistent glove work. Her fielding range is noteworthy. Her arm action has some length and is impressively strong. Her throws were consistently clocked at 61-mph and were firm, held their plane, and were routinely accurate. At the plate, Madison shows great effort and has an operation that should allow her to be a projectable hitter moving forward. She handles the short game well and appears to be a confident bunter. She is an aggressive strider and triggers with force. There is steepness to her swing plane and when on time and on path, she can impact the ball. She did flash some natural raw power. Madison has a sound game now. With added strength and agility, attention to detail concerning continued improvement on the fundamentals, and exposure to higher levels of competition, Madison should have the opportunity to progress to the next level. Her positive body language and noticeable passion for the sport is palpable. Promising future.
