Sydney Root Named Alliance National Pitcher of the Month for January
The Alliance Fastpitch is proud to name Sydney Root (2028) of the Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) as the Alliance National Pitcher of the Month for January. Representing OC Batbusters Stith, Sydney delivered a dominant performance in the circle, posting a perfect 6-0 record over 28 innings pitched. She recorded 34 strikeouts while maintaining an exceptional 0.25 ERA and an impressive 0.46 WHIP.
Sydney’s softball journey began at age 7 when she was invited to join a team that needed a player. Initially balancing both soccer and softball, she ultimately found her true passion on the diamond and committed fully to the sport.
Her favorite softball memory is winning the Arizona 6A State Championship—an achievement that reflects both her competitive drive and ability to perform at a high level.
Sydney enjoys watching college softball and is inspired by pitchers like Jordy Bahl and Teagan Kavan.
Outside of softball, she stays active by working out, spending time with her dog Archie, grabbing coffee, and going on walks.
Looking ahead, Sydney’s goals include winning a national championship with the Batbusters this summer and continuing her career at the collegiate level, where she hopes to compete for championships while earning her degree.
Sydney’s dominance in the circle, combined with her dedication and long-term vision, make her a standout and a deserving Alliance National Pitcher of the Month.
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.
