Deschanel Donovan Named NWFL Player of the Month for July

Deschanel Donovan’s softball journey begins at the age of four in Canada, playing alongside her older sister. Last year, she takes a significant step forward, transitioning to travel ball in the United States. The challenges of softball, combined with the friendships she forms, deepen her love for the game, fueling her competitive spirit.

One of Deschanel’s cherished memories is making it to the Elite 8 at the Alliance Nationals, a moment that stands out in her early career. Her favorite player, Jordy Bahl, serves as an inspiration, motivating Deschanel as she continues to push herself.

Currently, Deschanel’s goals are focused on committing to a Power 4 school and making the Canadian Women’s Olympic team, reflecting her ambition to excel at the highest levels of the sport.

The Alliance Fastpitch recognizes Deschanel Donovan as Player of the Month, celebrating her outstanding contributions to the game and her dedication to both personal and athletic development.

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.
