Melissa Harper '23 Recruiting Profile

Softball  has been in my soul since I could walk. I grew up watching girls softball in the Olympics and decided that was what I was going to do.  I’ve overcome adversity along the way. I was once in a wheel chair for several months, but I’ve come back stronger. I’ve played travel ball from 10u-16u and am currently on the Long Island Chiefs 16u team.  I am predominantly a second baseman, but I believe in putting in 110%  for whatever the coach and team needs.  I’ve pitched and caught in tournaments, played outfield and transitioned to shortstop.  I plan to major in psychology so that I can help teens.
