Chase Redington '14 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Chase Redington. I am 5'8" 155 lbs and currently play for So Cal Fillys with Pat Kelly on their 18u Gold. My freshman year I was starting varsity pitcher and made second team All-County for Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Also, I was named team MVP last year and was given a Scholar-Athlete Award by my school. It is weird to mention that stuff because really I just love to play! I am a devoted athlete and will play anywhere you put me. I have been playing ball since I was 4. My mom and sister played; and when you are born in California and growing up on the west coast, I guess you are just born to play! I can play anywhere and was actually a starting short-stop up until a couple of years ago. I have been primarily the starting pitcher for the past 3 years and my secondary position is now first base. Having to take on the role of starting varsity pitcher has really given me an opportunity to develop as a team leader. I hope to carry that on to college and really just want to play in college. I miss my family out west but I also love anywhere there are lots of trees and seasons. Since our move to South Florida, my parents have suffered financially. I know that I have to excel both in the classroom and on the field. I love a challenge! I am still interested in Kinesiology or some kind of sports science for my bachelors. I am considering a graduate degree in Sports Medicine, Literature, or Athletic Training. I would love to coach some day. So, I do really want to have a pitching coach at the school I attend. I want to get stronger and develop my pitching skills so I can teach others and hopefully give them what softball and pitching has given me; confidence in myself, team work, helping others and being a leader.
