A flashback to the high school season here. More on the mound successes granted by various speeds, FPS, and jamming batters inside OR getting them to chase the outside corner @BatesSBall @IHartFastpitch @CoastRecruits @SBRRetweets @ImpactRetweets @TopPreps @sportsthread

RFs are NOT the weakest link, as the stereotype goes! A catch in deep, foul RF, I threw the 2B runner out at 3B in a direct shot for a double play to end the inning @BatesSBall @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @BoostSoftball @ImpactRetweets @IHartFastpitch @SBRRetweets @Sportsthread

MENTAL TOUGHNESS is being 0 for your last 15, yet still having the same amount of belief in your ability to hit the next pitch, as you do when you're 15 for your last 15. You can only develop that through hard work and mastery. You can’t fake MT and there are no shortcuts

Took advantage of our time at the Bay State Showcase to practice slapping to the shallow OF versus a soft grounder, both producing a single. You don’t always have to crush a ball to get on base! @BatesSBall @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @IHartFastpitch @SoftballBoost @ImpactRetweets

A few of my favorite hits from our past tournament between a double to deep left/center (pictured off-camera haha), 2 soft slaps, and a push bunt all resulting in base hits! @BatesSBall @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @IHartFastpitch @BoostSoftball @SBRRetweets @ImpactRetweets

My successes in the box root from my practice sequencing. I start with front toss to get an idea of what to work on that day. After circling through various drills, I cycle back to front toss to try again with new applications @BatesSBall @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @IHartFastpitch

Off days are some of my favorite days because I control what skills I want to target and for how long. Today, I continued to strengthen my bat whip to drive pitches to opposite field @BatesSBall @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @BoostSoftball @SBRRetweets @IHartFastpitch

True or false: a pitcher is as good as her change-up... true! Switching speeds while locating allows me to produce the strikeouts I want as well as control the zone and each AB @BatesSBall @TopPreps @sportsthread @BoostSoftball @CoastRecruits @SBRRetweets @IHartFastpitch

Here are some hitting highlights from the first day of the NE Showcase! I focused on pitch selection today. @CoachJamesNYU @SoftballCMU @UMassSoftball @BrownU_Softball @Penn_Softball @WheatonSB @ECSUSoftball @PolarCt

A handful of hits from the high school season. As a slapper, we are expected to hit to the left side almost always. However, my goal was to have control over the entire field between both soft and power slaps @TopPreps @sportsthread @BoostSoftball @ImpactRetweets @BatesSBall

Although leaving the program that had shaped me will forever be bittersweet, I’m glad I got to leave on a high note as an all-conference student athlete with recognition for academics and leadership when presented with the Warrior award; thanks Coach! #windsorpride

So grateful to have graduated high school second in my class with numerous honor chords under my belt (or around my neck). A chapter come to a close, I am more than excited to see what I can accomplish @ Bates College these next four years ❤️

Part 2/2: Hard work ALWAYS pays off! So proud of my team for an EXPLOSIVE night game to continue our winning streak and maintain momentum 😁 @TopPreps @sportsthread @ImpactRetweets @CoastRecruits @uncommittedEC @BoostSoftball @SBRRetweets

Base hits can be more about placement than strength. Both my sac bunt and hit down the line enabled me to reach first. Placement is just as an important skill! @BatesSBall @AssumptionSB @Amherst_SBall @TuftsSoftball @ImpactRetweets @IHartFastpitch @TopPreps @CoastRecruits

Slap happy at #NEFinest!!! I went NINE FOR NINE on Sunday alone, providing 3 hits per game :)) #jobofaleadoff @BatesSBall @AssumptionSB @Amherst_SBall @TuftsSoftball @BantamSoftball @ImpactRetweets @ondecksoftball @CoastRecruits @TopPreps @planetfastpitch @IHartFastpitch

More from this summer's NE Finest tourney! Wanted to try a different video style :) here are 3 quality PITCHED at bats, coming back from counts where I started off behind, but pulled through! @BatesSBall @ImpactRetweets @TopPreps @ondecksoftball @planetfastpitch @CoastRecruits

Pitching flashbacks to the summer #NEFinest showcase, where we started off with simply spotting and changing speeds #progressovereverything @BatesSBall @AssumptionSB @Amherst_SBall @TuftsSoftball @ImpactRetweets @CoastRecruits @TopPreps @ondecksoftball @planetfastpitch

Summer flashback at #NEFinest including a QAB, 2 base hits, and a stolen base @AssumptionSB @BatesSBall @TuftsSoftball @Amherst_SBall @HamCollSoftball @BantamSoftball @BrownSoftball @ImpactRetweets @TopPreps @CoastRecruits @ondecksoftball @IHartFastpitch @planetfastpitch

Another big goal: staying back when finishing the pitch rather than walking through it #progression @CoachesPlayers @planetfastpitch @ondecksoftball @ImpactRetweets @CoastRecruits @IHartFastpitch @StriveSoftball @Sports_Recruits @BatesSBall @Amherst_SBall @HamCollSoftball
