Tamara “T” Statman, a 2015 pitcher/infielder from Phoenix (Ariz.) Horizon High, is one of the most energetic and creative athletes you’ll find.

A 1^st Team All-American this year, T has an incredibly diverse and accomplished background:

• she’s a 4.0 student
• is a 3rd degree blackbelt in taekwndo
• participates in student government
• has even started a program called “T K’s for Skin Cancer” where she partnered with the Arizona Skin Cancer Foundation to raise money for each strikeout she records

Also, check out her website which is one of the best softball player sites you’ll ever see.

In her latest video blog you’ll see the clever – and visual!–way she explains why she’s joining the Birmingham Thunderbolts, how she’ll practice with the out-of-state program and what her plans are for this fall.
