Softball Story (How did you get started? Tell us about you-<\/strong><\/p>\n I have been playing softball since I was six years old.\u00a0 I started with a local rec league and fell in love with the sport. I joined my first travel ball team when I was nine.\u00a0 I currently play 14u for Firecrackers Leles-Enyart\/Leles out of Rancho Cordova, California. I am a student athlete at Rolling Hills Middle School in the class of 2027. I currently have a 4.0 GPA. In August of 2022, I was selected to represent the Pacific Coast Region at the 12u USA Softball All-American Games in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 This November I will be participating in the USA Softball High Performance Program National Selection Event in Mesquite, Texas.\u00a0 Outside of softball, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Favorite Softball memory-<\/strong><\/p>\n One of my favorite memories was last season during Alliance Nationals.\u00a0 Our team had gone 6-0 so far in the tournament and I pitched two full games in a row.\u00a0 We were ahead 9-4 with runners on base and it was the last out of the game.\u00a0 Everyone had a ton of energy and it gave me a vision of what it would feel like playing in a college game. It was so much fun hearing lots of people cheering.\u00a0\u00a0 I vividly remember the count was 2-2 with two outs. The batter had fouled off multiple balls in a row. On the last pitch I threw to the batter, she swung and struck out. Having the feeling of all my teammates and coaches believing in me is the best thing ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coaches Feedback-<\/strong><\/p>\n Kennedi\u00a0has developed into a true ace.\u00a0She possesses the mental toughness and drive that will propel her to reach her full\u00a0potential as she moves through her softball journey.\u00a0\u00a0Kennedi\u00a0never stops in her quest to become the best player that she can be on the mound, in the field, and at the plate\u2026and she is always thirsty for additional coaching.\u00a0Kennedi\u00a0loves softball and she takes every extra rep she can get. She will\u00a0play for every team in the organization,\u00a0every weekend of the month, at every age group, and there would be zero quit or intimidation as she dominates athletes 4 and 5 years older than her.\u00a0 She is relentless in the best way possible and you have to drag her off the mound as she wants every out of every game.\u00a0 Moreover,\u00a0Kennedi\u00a0is an amazing teammate and does everything she can to make those around her better with encouragement and support.\u00a0 Simply stated,\u00a0Kennedi\u00a0is a dream athlete to coach and she is the heart of our team! \u2013 coach Russell<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/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":" The Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) is excited to spotlight Kennedi Freeland as the September Co-Junior Player of the Month.
