Daylyn Osborne Named HFL Player of the Month for June

The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Daylyn Osborne (2027) from the Heart of America Fastpitch League (HFL) as Player of the Month for her remarkable play in June 2024. Daylyn Osborne, a versatile player for Vision Gold 09, excels at her playing position- P. Through June, her stats include 58.2 innings pitched, she had 86 strikeouts and a .619 ERA. Osborne will spend the upcoming season with her new team, Iowa Premier 16U National.

Daylyn Osborne’s softball journey begins at age 6, initially playing C-level ball until her first year of 12U. In November 2020, she tried out for an A-level team, where coaches Anthony Merryman and Bryan Wyman see her potential as a pitcher. Since then, she has been with the same team for seven seasons. Most of her teammates live within 20 miles of each other, allowing them to practice together, hang out outside of softball, and even play against each other in high school ball, making for competitive games.

A cherished softball memory for Daylyn is winning the TCS Texas State Championship and Top Club Nationals. Competing against incredible national teams and making waves as a newer team on the national stage is a great experience for her.

Daylyn’s favorite player is Reganne Bennett, a sophomore pitcher for Michigan who has been her mentor for the last year. Reganne offers Daylyn perspective on off days and has taught her about patient hands and being in her zone before each pitch, improving her game. Outside of softball, Daylyn enjoys spending time with family and friends outdoors and volunteering with her little sister Hadley’s softball team.

Daylyn’s current goals are to commit to a D1 softball program while pursuing a degree in Psychology with a focus on Life After Sports and Family Counseling. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Daylyn on her well-deserved recognition as Player of the Month, acknowledging her outstanding contributions to the sport and her commitment to personal and athletic growth.

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.
