I had an awesome time in Calgary Alberta competing at the U17 Canadian Womenβs Fastpitch Championship. I played center field and hit in the 1/2 spot and my stats include .316 AVG, .381 OBP, led team in .960 OPS, .579 SLG, 6 R, 4 SB.
Hereβs a short highlight reel:
Had a great weekend in Dartmouth and Silverbacks came through with a big tournament win.
Stats: .538 AVG, .667 OBP, 1.282 OPS, 8 R, 0 strikeouts (100% contact rate) in 5 games played.
Top-hand only swings are some of my favourite. I really try to get the feel of βsnappingβ at contact to get proper extension. This is also huge for barrel control and proper bat path. π₯π
This is one of my favourite tee drills. Keeping my barrel on my shoulder until my hips have turned helps me not drop my hands when I swing- less popups.

Last week with the U15 AA Silverbacks has come to an end. Not the result we wanted, but a lot of lessons learned at the U15 Eastern Canadian Fastpitch Championship.
Here are some defensive highlights from CF (clips 1-8) and stolen base highlights (clips 9-12).
Had an amazing tour with some Durham College players, checking out the facilities. Great field, fun practice, and even got to talk with Coach Jamie after. π₯ππ
