middle DD is a catcher......she's in her last year of 10u - she's small, super fast, very smart, natural leader.......she really took to catching last year


looking for a CURRENT college catcher for her to watch......while we are able to watch a fair amount of college on TV, she doesn't have a favorite player.......my plan is to buy her a sweatshirt from that team, so she seeks them out to watch

eldest DD is easy......somehow she likes ari hawkins of Baylor, so Baylor softball has a fan in midcoast Maine lol



any help would be appreciated!

I would suggest picking someone who plays on a team that your DD will be able to watch, either live or online. SEC schools are good catchers because of the WatchESPN app. The Longhorn Network does a good job of broadcasting their games online.

we have the sports package on DirecTV, so we get SEC, longhorn, the full lineup of fox sports channels, espn extra, etc, etc


middle DD is also an internet junkie.......so while someone we could all watch on the TV would be great, I wanted someone she could watch and model after, so to speak.....


yeah, i am using her lack of a favorite team to manipulate her into a role model of my choosing.....so sue me lol

SEC is a good idea, I am currently leaning towards Auburn & Carlee Wallace - she is short, good defensive catcher, solid stick.....


plus her name is a little unique (DD is a Zoe), she wears 00 (DD is normally two, but I could see her liking 00 lol).......mine is my quirky daughter, so this could work

I am sure other schools do this too, but Auburn broadcast every home game online, so your DD may have more opportunities to watch Carlee Wallace play than some others. Just make sure you choose someone who has good fundamentals and a high softball IQ. There are some college catchers who are better offensively, than they are defensively, so choose wisely.
