Jesse Stringer '22 Recruiting Profile

Softball has taught me so many life lessons. It has taught me how to work as a team and to never give up. Most importantly, it has taught me that it is okay to fail at something when you're trying your hardest. The game of softball has brought me closer to a group of girls that I can call my best friends and has given me the ability to meet people I probably wouldn't have known if it wasn't for this game. 

I have always played shortstop growing up. Maybe it's because I have grown up in a family of shortstops.  It has been my favorite position  out of all to play.  As I've gotten older and playing at a more competitive level, I have been open-minded and shared the position with other players. This gave me the opportunity to play 2nd base and some outfield, but shortstop is where I thrive. Two things make me a unique player.  I have a side arm and quick hands. When I field the ball, I can stay low to throw and get rid of the ball quick. 

I have family that have gone to college and gotten degrees, but none have played ball at the college level.  My goal is to be the first.
