The Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) is proud to name Leanna Garcia the PCFL’s 18U Fall Spotlight Athlete for 2021.<\/p>\n
Garcia, a 2022 Cal State Fullerton signee and member of Breakers Labs 18U Gold, threw 106 innings of work. During that stretch, she posted a 13-4-3 record with 123 strikeouts, a 1.38 ERA. She also contributed at the plate with a .407 batting average.<\/span><\/p>\n Q: Tell us a little bit about you and your softball story?<\/strong> Q: What is your favorite softball memory?<\/strong> Since coming out of rec ball, Lee has been a joy to coach. She has learned to become such a great leader. She personifies what hard work and dedication can accomplish on and off the playing field. She is able to maintain a healthy balance of school and softball. \u00a0 A great part of her success comes from her family, particularly her mom and dad who are there for her during the times of success but more importantly through times of<\/span><\/p>\n struggle. I have had the pleasure to watch her mature and grow into a one of a kind athlete. Once in a while a player comes along that has the it-factor, that is Leanna. At times I catch myself watching her compete as a fan, instead of a coach. I am going to miss her when she continues on in her softball career but I can not wait to watch the success in college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) is proud to name Leanna Garcia the PCFL’s 18U Fall Spotlight Athlete for 2021.

\nA: I started playing T-Ball with the boys for my first two years and went to softball in SU. It was not always easy, I remember the first time I tried out for All-Stars and I didn’t make the team; Gold, Silver or Bronze. I was devastated. At that moment, something clicked and I told myself I would work as hard as I could to never experience that feeling again. That summer I pitched every single day with my dad. The next season I made the Gold Team and never stopped pushing myself to be better. I have been a part of the Breakers Org for the past 7 years where I have made a family that supports me through everything. I could not be where I am today without the support of my family, my pitching Coach Brooke Moses and especially my mom and dad. I am so thankful for the opportunities and accomplishments we’ve achieved and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nA: My favorite softball memory was this past summer at PGF where we placed 3rd in Platinum. I did very well and <\/span>pitched 9 playoff games with a total of 83Ks. In one<\/span><\/i>\u00a0particular game I threw a no-hitter with 19Ks. We won 1-0. It was an amazing pitcher’s duel. I was so proud of my team for all the work we put in.<\/span><\/p>\nCoaches Feedback:<\/h3>\n
