As an 8th grader;I played JV;and was the only person in my school to do so. ,I had to pass a strict ;physical fitness test at that level, I passed at Varsity level. I practice every day to push my self to become a better player, and to make my team mates better players. I firmly believe in letting my surroundings become a product of me and try very hard to lead by example and set the standard.;This year I lead my team to its first 9& 0 start.I pitched back to back no hitters. One against North Rockland High School and the second against Pal-Mac High School. I am a left handed pitcher and have been pitching since the age of 9. Pitching is my favorite part of softball and I am most dedicated to this.The keys to my success are my movement pitches, and ability to keep hitters off balance, with my multiple tools. I have a fastball, a change up, a drop , a curve , and a screw ;I am working very hard to develope my rise. When I am not on the pitcher's mound I normally;play outfield field or first base. Also, if I am not in the game,or on;the field, I am a DP for someone else or base running. As a hitter, I can bunt,slap,drag bunt, and hit for power.
