Lauren Emery '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello, as you may know my name is Lauren Emery and I will be graduating in 2024 from Willapa Valley H.S. in Menlo WA. I first started playing Tball at age 6 and eventually moved to 8U softball.  I was usually one of the youngest on my teams and I followed my classmates early to upper age teams. I was 8 and our 10U team did not have any pitchers and so she lined us up and had each of us pitch to her.  I would've never guessed how much I loved pitching or that I was going to be a pitcher but here I am and pitching now is my main focus. Every week I go to a barn with my pitching coach, Ken Gray, and he helps me with all different types of pitches.  I focus on different spins for pitches and speed. Right now my favorite pitch is a rise ball. I look forward to continuing my softball career after high-school.
