Samantha Hemhauser '22 Recruiting Profile

I have  been involved in sports since I was seven years old.  I started off playing baseball.  I fell in love with baseball thanks to my dad.  I guess what I like most when I was younger was all the fun practicing and playing with my teammates.  It was nice to always have friends to cheer me on when I did well and cheer me up when I didn't do well.  As I grew up and aged out for little league, I moved into softball on my intermediate schools team.  It was definitely a change going from playing short and pitcher to playing outfield, but I feel that I have made the transition very well.  I periodically play shortstop but mostly I am center fielder.  I am very fast and have a strong arm to make the big plays.  I am known to cover a great deal of ground and make the catch, even the diving ones.  As center fielder, I fell into the roll of controlling the outfielders and I feel this is one of my better skills.  I batted righty  until I turned 15 years old, my coach wanted to take advantage of my speed and switched me to a Slapper.  I took to it very quickly and in the past year I have started to hit well.   

As of schools, I’m not really sure what my college plan is yet.   I’m still undecided on  a career path.   As time I figure it out, I will update my page.  Thanks for taking the time to look over my profile.  I am new to this process and will add more details shortly.  Thanks again Samantha.
