After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to step away from softball.

Over the past several months, I was fortunate to have opportunities to continue playing, and I’m truly grateful to the coaches who believed in me and reached out. After a lot of reflection and tears I realized that my decision wasn’t about finding the right program but it was about realizing my passion for the game just isn’t what it used to be.

I’ve also learned that I no longer want to be part of the drama that can come with the sport. I’m thankful for the memories, the friendships, and everything softball has taught me.

Thank you to every coach who invested time in me and to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey. A couple videos of where it all started are below and where I fell in love with game. Special thanks to my pitching coach Allison Porter and hitting Coach John Cronican whom spent countless hours with me over the last 10 years. I’m excited to see what comes next.

Back at it today working on movement and landing back to back pitches.

Didn’t need to wait a month. Added 1 mph 2 days later. Slowly working my velocity back. Goal is to get back to 58-59mph consistently and top at 60mph.
