VTChip

She played last season in the Netherlands and basically rediscovered her love for the game by NOT pitching. “I’ve always thought of myself more as a hitter than a pitcher. Hitting is the thing that I can go out and do for hours. I love trying to tweak every little thing… [I’m] able to fall in love with the game again.” She was drafted by the Blaze this year in the AUSL so hopefully she can provide Emma Lemley some run support.

Base hit is the only cure for that type of temporary blindness. -- laphroaig Jan 07, 2026 at 04:38 AM ET
