Amerie Portillo Named Alliance National Pitcher of the Month for January
The Alliance Fastpitch proudly recognizes Amerie Portillo (2031) of the Rocky Mountain Fastpitch League (RMFL) as the Alliance National Pitcher of the Month for January. Pitching for the New Mexico Suncats 14U National Gandert/Miller, Amerie showcased her talent in the circle with 17 strikeouts across 10.1 innings pitched, finishing the month with a 1.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.
Amerie began playing softball at the age of 6 and quickly fell in love with the game. Inspired by her dad and supported by her family, she continues to grow her passion and skills each time she steps on the field.
One of her favorite softball memories came when she hit a grand slam—an exciting moment that she celebrated with her team by going out for ice cream.
Amerie looks up to Yukiko Ueno as her favorite softball player, drawing inspiration from her dominance and excellence in pitching.
Outside of softball, Amerie enjoys painting, watching movies, and spending time with her friends.
Her goals include having strong school and travel ball seasons while maintaining excellent grades. Amerie’s enthusiasm, work ethic, and love for the game make her a deserving recipient of this honor.
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.
