The\u00a0Texas Fastpitch League (TFL)\u00a0<\/a>is excited to spotlight Ella Cunningham as the September player of the month.\u00a0Cunningham\u00a0is a\u00a0pitcher\u00a0on\u00a0American Freedom National 2k24.<\/p>\n

At the plate, Ella is hitting a whopping .409 with 5 home runs and an OPS of 1.527. In addition to her success at the plate, Cunningham has a 1.97 ERA in the circle, a 0.94 WHIP and is averaging one strikeout per inning.<\/p>\n

\u201cElla is very talented, powerful, coachable, and a hard-working ball player,\u201d coach Rex Ramos said.\u00a0 \u201cShe is a huge asset for us at the plate and inside the circle. She excels in the classroom, and is a terrific person and great teammate. I am very proud of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cunningham started her softball journey at an early age. \u201cWhen I was five years old, I tried ballet and that wasn\u2019t for me. So, my parents signed me up for softball. At the first practice I got a bloody nose and fell in love with the sport and haven\u2019t looked back,\u201d Cunningham said.<\/p>\n

Her favorite softball memory is when she hit five home runs in a single tournament.<\/p>\n

From all of us at the\u00a0Alliance<\/a>\u00a0and the TFL, congratulations to\u00a0Ella Cunningham for her achievements.<\/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":"
