Gaby is a 2025 Commit from Garner, NC. This year, she helped her team win the state title and was named the North Carolina 4A Player of the Year. She also helped the Puerto Rico U-18 Team win the Gold Medal at the Pan Am games. Per Max Preps, she has a career batting average of .464 with 19 home runs. Softball America just featured her (they have her ranked as the #30 position player in the Class of 2025) and I'll share a couple of comments from the article: "Virginia Tech has been my dream school for the past three years. They have stood out in every aspect that is important to me, starting with the coaching staff and team culture. The coaches create both a winning environment and a family-oriented culture. I have incredible respect for what Coach Pete and Coach Mike have done under their leadership to turn the program around. You can tell the players love it there, they love each other, and they have fun together....The coaches have also supported my journey for two years, watching games and keeping up with my social media posts. They are great human beings and have taken an interest in learning about my family and getting to know me as a person, not just a player (at camps, during my visit, and since my commitment through texts). I also fell in love with the beautiful campus setting and town. Finally, academics are extremely important to me, and VA Tech gives me the opportunity to play softball at the highest level at a very strong academic institution." She usually bats leadoff (career on-base pct of .524) and mentioned Emma Ritter as the player that she looks up to the most (pretty good choice, IMHO). "In my opinion, she is the definition of a PERFECT leadoff hitter. She leads the team with a ~0.430 BA and 25 stolen bases. She is disciplined at the plate and a very tough out....Emma is physically strong, fast, and a very consistent gap-to-gap hitter who also happens to have 14 home runs. I love watching her play and would love to hit like her as a future Hokie!" I will share one final quote from her: "I know that I am not the biggest or flashiest player on the field, but I also know that no one will outwork me." Sounds like Hokie Nation is going to love this young lady!
