Jordan Woolery has had one hitting coach since she was 8 years old, Danny Parajon.
He taught her one thing that has always stuck with her, tee work is the best work. “If you can’t hit a ball off the tee perfectly before a game, you won’t be able to hit a moving pitch.”
Coach Parajon has been by @jordanwooleryy’s side through it all, including being in attendance for her last pro softball home games of the season @AUSL_Talons.
From the #WCWS, to graduation, to her @theAUSLofficial debut, @TaylorTinsley7 remains tough as nails.
In her first pro start with the @AUSL_Talons, Tinsley notches a complete game shutout for the series sweep.
Just 20 days after throwing her last pitch for @UCLASoftball in OKC.
"Little Jordan could have only dreamed of the career I've had. She had big dreams and a lot of love for softball."
Jordan Woolery shares a loving letter to softball.
#WCWS x @UCLASoftball
My first freelance story for ESPN @andscape looks at @UCLASoftball star Jordan Woolery's awakening about race as a Black player in a mostly white sport, and why she feels representation matters as she closes out one of the best seasons ever. https://t.co/EBrtjvVmEL
