On her softball journey:
“I started off playing T-ball, went through rec ball, then travel ball. I got experience playing with the best coaches, best teammates. That inspired me to want to play at the next level. I kept working hard.
On her hitting philosophy:
“I always think base hits. When I’m using my legs, special things happen.”
On having her younger sister as quarantine partner:
“We get along well. Being able to go, ‘Hey, let’s go into the backyard and play catch’ really helps me.”
On the lessons she’s learned:
“Never take anything for granted. You never know when your last practice is going to happen, your last at-bat, your last game. Take everything one step at a time.”
