The\u00a0Heart of America Fastpitch League (<\/a>HFL) is excited to spotlight Delilah Kincaid as the October Junior player of the month. Kincaid is a 2027 on Batbusters-09 Rogers.<\/p>\n

The Indiana native had an impressive showing the month of October. Kincaid batted a .477 with 31 RBIs.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into the 2021-2022 season I knew as a manager that I really needed to find a player with a big bat and a great glove to compete against the best teams in the country,\u201d said Tom Rogers. \u201cLast season, I watched and kept my eye on Delilah as she was playing up on an older team. I was lucky enough to have the parents and Delilah want to join our team for the 2021-2022 season. Delilah is a force at the plate with her power and filled a big hole we had at 3rd base. Delilah adds maturity and leadership on our team and she will be a player that all college coaches will want to keep their eye on. Big things to come for this young lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all started with a glove, ball and my dad,\u201d said Delilah. \u201cI started playing the game at the age of 3. I started with rec ball. My dad and I would practice every day until I eventually got better. I Started travel ball as a 9yr old playing up. I made my first travel team (Hobart Stealers). I ended up going to the windmills out of Oak Park looking for better competition. Now I play for Batbusters-09 Rogers. I also play basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delilah has so many favorite softball memories it\u2019s hard to choose. \u201cThe 20-21 season was a roller-coaster,\u201d she said. \u201cThe 20-21 season was a roller-coaster. I moved to a team to better myself and push myself. I was playing with older girls and it was my first big tournament. I played very well defensively but my batting wasn\u2019t what I was use to batting only hitting .215. On the ride home, I was sad and angry. I looked and my dad and told him by the end of the summer I will raise my avg to .400. He said let\u2019s grind. Starting with a new team half way to through the year was very tough but it was what I needed. We worked every day the entire summer. Fast forward to nationals in Virginia, I ended up batting .500 for the tourney and moving my avg to .397. I was very close to my goal. I jumped in my dad\u2019s arms and gave him the biggest hug. I proved to myself that I belong playing at the high level.\u201d<\/p>\n

From all of us at the\u00a0Alliance<\/a>\u00a0and the HFL, congratulations to\u00a0Delilah Kincaid for her achievements.<\/p>\n

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement of each League\u2019s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s monthly report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
