EMERY FAJARDO NAMED ALLIANCE FASTPITCH NATIONAL PITCHER OF THE MONTH

Written by Bradynn Belcher (‘26c)

The Alliance Fastpitch is proud to name Emery Fajardo as the National Pitcher of the Month for April 2025. The PCFL hurler from the Batbusters–Gomes, Snedeker, Murillo 12U team boasted a 1.02 ERA across 41.1 innings of work while accumulating 84 strikeouts.

Fajardo’s softball journey was sparked from moments of admiration. Watching her older brother play baseball inspired Fajardo to find her place on the diamond at just eight years old.

For Fajardo, her love for softball is not rooted in competition. It is rooted in the community she has been able to build for herself within her team atmosphere. Although she has had many great moments on the field, her favorite softball memory is simply enjoying time with friends during Nationals.

When she is not in the circle, Fajardo showcases her athleticism as a dual-sport athlete by also competing in track. In the little free time that Fajardo has, she enjoys hanging out with friends and family.

Long term, Fajardo aims to play softball at the collegiate level to honor her faith and family.

The Alliance Fastpitch congratulates Fajardo on being named Pitcher of the Month, an honor that reflects her hard work, growth, and passion for the game.

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.
