Taylor Oakes '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Taylor but I usually go by T.O. 20. I am known to be the loudest on the field and keep everyone smiling and cheering for each other.  I am an outfielder, catcher, and 2nd base. I have a pure eye for tracking the ball from the time it is pitched. Playing catcher is my secondary position; with a strong arm and a quick snap. I have been playing softball since the age of 5 as a utility player. My coaches have been my foundation and I thank them for the time and devotion they all have applied in me on and off the field. I have always thought of my teams as family and call them my softball sisters. I love the game and devote my every step to accomplish a higher level. I challenge competition and respect my abilities. Softball isn't just a sport it my lifestyle! I plan my life around my softball schedule. Honor Roll is my priority. You can't achieve your goals without determination, hard work and passion. Those three qualities have helped create the person I am today. I use these three qualities in everything I do.
