Currently at Dodge City Community College in KS.
Hello, my name is Danika Utajara. My coaches and teammates call me DK. I am currently in my second year at Dodge City Community College in Kansas. My goal as a collegiate athlete is to always be the best that I can be for myself and my teammates. That being when I am in the pitching circle, out on the field, and in the batters box. I also try to become a better player and learn from every practice, game, bullpen, and even team meetings. Since playing my Freshman year at Dodge City CC I have been able to work on my leadership skills and really test and grow my athletic ability. With my Sophomore season fixing to begin, I have high expectations to grow as a better player and help lead my team.
