Charlotte Shelton, a versatile player for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firecrackers Brashear Martinez 14U, excels in multiple positions\u2014OF, P. Her May stats include a .333 batting average, a .385 OBP, 4 singles and 3 stolen bases. Through 11.4 innings pitched, she had 11 strikeouts and a 1.579 ERA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlotte Shelton&#8217;s softball journey begins with a proud moment when she is the only 7-year-old on the 8U Gold All-Star team back in Rec. Her very first coach, Coach Scott, believes in her potential. After COVID, she moved on to travel ball, playing for Athletic Mercado Baca for two years, where she grew and developed significantly. Currently, she is on Firecrackers Martinez 14U, with her sister on the 16U team. Charlotte loves the occasional opportunity to pitch for the older team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cherished softball memory for Charlotte is participating in Jordy Bahl&#8217;s Elite Pitching Camp right before PGF in 2023. She attends the camp with her favorite Mercado Baca catcher, KT. Working directly with Jordy Bahl and a small group of pitchers, Charlotte learns a great deal and thoroughly enjoys meeting her idol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlotte&#8217;s favorite player is Jordy Bahl, admiring her impact on the sport despite not having a large stature, much like herself. Outside of softball, Charlotte enjoys hanging out with friends and her sister, playing with her dog, babysitting, and baking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlotte&#8217;s current goals include playing D1 softball in college and pitching in the College World Series. Off the field, she aspires to go to medical school and practice medicine, specifically in pediatrics, following in her mother&#8217;s footsteps. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Charlotte 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the announcement of each League\u2019s 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\u2019s monthly report.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Charlotte Shelton (2028) from the Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) as Player of the Month for her remarkable play in May 2024.
