What’s your current status? “I’ve been playing for Marty Cooper’s high school team for two years and for his travel team since the fall of last year.  I am entering my senior year in high school and I am still uncommitted.”

“I’m still 16U eligible but have always played up to improve and grow as a player and maybe that has affected the recruiting a bit as it seems that the college coaches looking for 2015 players are not usually following the 18U teams.  I’m not exactly sure, but I am working hard every day to improve as a pitcher, player and team leader and hope to play for a competitive D1 college.”

“I am a solid, self-motivated, hard-working pitcher/utility player and I just love this game.  I’d like to make this sport a part of my life after college and hope to be a softball broadcaster or coach on some level.”

What is your favorite bat: “Easton Synergy, it’s a single barrel bat that has good pop and doesn’t break easily.”
What bat does your team use? “Our entire team hits with a Louisville Slugger LXT.”
What is your favorite brand of cleats? 
”Nike but I get the toe dipped in Line-X because it extends the life of my shoe.”
What is the uniform brand you prefer? Victory Dry Fit
