Shelbi Patterson '20 Recruiting Profile

My Mother played softball her whole life, and when she signed me up for T-ball when I was 4; is when my dreams of being a professional softball player formed.  I've grown up on focusing on my grades and my sports I play and that's what I do. I work hard at school,practices,games, and at home to help my family.

I have learned that softball is a huge team sport, you cannot rely on yourself or just one player. There are 9 positions on the field, and each position matters. My goals as I am currently a sophomore in high school, is to graduate with my 5.0 and get my degree in cardiology. I also, grew up playing softball, track, and volleyball. I've enjoyed being an athlete and keeping my GPA high. 

I am quick in the field and on the bases. In the outfield, I will go as far as I need to catch a ball, even if that means diving. I am aggressive and will do anything to get the play needed.
