ALLIANCE FASTPITCH BLOG

The Rocky Mountain Fastpitch League (RMFL) is excited to spotlight Nina Vargas as the October Junior player of the month. Vargas is a 2026 on Colorado Bombers Robberson.

In the month of October Vargas accrued a .615 batting average with 2 homeruns and 11 RBIs.

“Nina has been a great leader for this team over the last two years,” said coach Heath Robberson “She has always had tremendous physical talent and this year has harnessed her mental approach to the game. The results have been incredible both offensively and defensively. She has always been a team player willing to do anything and everything to help her team win. The honor is well deserved!”

“I started playing softball at the age of 5,” Vargas said. “From the moment I played in my first coach pitch game, I knew I loved softball and I continue to love it more every day. It has helped define me and turn me into who I am today.”

Her favorite memory is of her first homerun. “Last fall 2020, I hit my first home run. When I hit the ball, I knew it was over the fence and it was an amazing feeling! I still remember that very moment and will always treasure it.”

From all of us at the Alliance and the RMFL, congratulations to Nina Vargas for her achievements.

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?

The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League’s Player of the Month.

Following the announcement of each League’s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month.

To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League’s monthly report.
