The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Khloee Shoemake (2028) from the Texas Fastpitch League (TFL) as Player of the Month for her remarkable play in April 2024. Khloee Shoemake, a versatile player for Impact Gold National-Mata, excels in the outfield. Her April stats include a .750 batting average, a .786 OBP, 9 singles, 3 RBIs, and 1 stolen base.
Chloe Shoemake’s softball journey begins at the age of four when she starts playing Pixie 1 softball, following in her older brother’s footsteps. Her brother is her inspiration, as she grows up watching him play baseball. Chloe loves everything about the game, from the friendships she forms over the years to the fun and excitement she feels every time she steps on the field.
A cherished memory for Chloe is from the summer of 2023, when her team wins third place in the Colorado Sparkler tournament. The excitement and happiness among everyone make it a very fun time, regardless of not winning first place. This experience is one of many new ones she hopes to enjoy with her team.
Chloe’s favorite player is Danica Coffey. She loves watching LSU play, especially with Coffey on the field, admiring her incredible skill and positive energy. Outside of softball, Chloe enjoys spending time with her family and friends or watching movies on Netflix.
Chloe’s long-term goals include playing college softball at the highest level possible while working towards a degree in the medical field. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Chloe 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.
Chloe’s coach, Cheyenne Mata, describes her as a tremendous asset to the team, a hard worker, and a perfectionist. Chloe’s speed is untouchable, making her the ultimate utility player. She has played all three outfield positions, shortstop, second base, and even third base in a major game. She is a great teammate who will run through a brick wall for the team, always prioritizing team success over individual accolades. Chloe is also an honor student with great integrity, who loves attending church and helping others.One of Coach Mata’s favorite memories of Chloe is from when she first joined the team in January. Chloe initially struggles with the new environment, but after a conversation in which Coach Mata expresses belief in her talents, Chloe works hard and in the very next tournament hits over .500, earning the title of TFL Jr Stage #1 Offensive Player of the Tournament.
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.
