A recruiting story.

There was a Division I coach who kept asking my coach what my exit velocity was.

Over and over again.

Meanwhile, my recruiting page is full of home run videos.

What was never asked was:

• What kind of teammate is she?

• How does she handle adversity?

• How does she lead?

• What kind of person is she?

Just one number.

Don’t get me wrong. Exit velocity matters. Home runs matter. Performance matters.

But throughout this recruiting journey, I’ve realized I want my future home to be a place that wants me for more than just my athletic ability. I want a program that values me for the person I am, the teammate I am, and what I can bring both on and off the field.

Because to me, that means I’m wanted for much more than just how hard I can hit a softball.

I’ve also learned that recruiting is a two way street.

You’re evaluating me, but I’m evaluating you just as much.

The right program won’t just see what I can do on the field.

They’ll see who I am.

I look forward to continuing this journey and making the decision about my future home soon. I trust that wherever I end up will be exactly where I’m meant to be.

It’s all in God’s plan. 🥰

Had a great weekend at Scenic City with my girls!

We finished Top 4 out of 66 teams in the 16U Open Division and got to compete against some really good teams all weekend.

My stats:
IP 29.1
ERA 1.43
K’s 34
BB 6
WHIP .955
BAA .202
Strike % 71.58

The defense behind me was awesome all weekend. They made so many big plays and made my job a lot easier. I love getting to play with this group and compete alongside them.

Thankful for all my teammates, and families who supported us this weekend. Time to get back to work and keep getting better!

Had a great day yesterday at the Buffalo Showcase, going 4-0 with my team! We played some really talented teams, and I’m proud of how we competed all day.

People always talk about pitching stats, but a pitcher is only as good as the defense behind her. I was lucky to have the girls behind me making plays all day and giving me confidence in the circle. Our defense was outstanding, and our bats stayed hot when we needed them.

I think I’m at the point where I can say that the Women’s College World Series is the most watchable NCAA championship event.

[Paige Dauer @PaigeDauerFDP]

As Emma Clarke rounded the bases on her walk-off home run, she was overcome with joy!

"I immediately just looked up and started to give God all the glory."

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I don’t think it’s even that hot of a take. Women’s softball is the most entertaining women’s college sport to watch.
