Next up, meet #8 Olivia Griffith!
Olivia is one of our most recent additions to the team! She is an incredibly versatile player who can be counted on in the circle, infield corners, or in the outfield. In a relatively short amount of time, she has developed into one of our most reliable pitchers, showing confidence, consistency, and a willingness to step into whatever role the team needs. Her versatility gives us flexibility defensively, and she brings that same dependability to the plate as a consistent hitter who adds tremendous value to our lineup.
But what really sets Olivia apart is her attitude and leadership. She is a great communicator, an encouraging teammate, and someone who is always looking for ways to lift up the girls around her. She leads by example, works hard, brings positive energy, and can be trusted when her team needs her most. She’s the kind of player every coach loves having on the field and every teammate is lucky to have beside them.
And then there is Tournament Captain Olivia…which is an entirely different level of serious. 🫡
When Olivia is chosen as captain, she considers it an official assignment. When she yells “WOW FACTOR ON 3!”, she does not need a microphone—the opposing team, umpires, spectators, concession stand workers, and probably everyone three fields over already know Wow Factor has arrived. 📣
Then comes the coin flip. Most players choose heads or tails, Olivia conducts a full scientific investigation. She studies the coin, analyzes both sides and considers what materials are heavier or lighter and gravity (apparently?) and then announces her decision. We have no idea where she was awarded this expertise but her success rate is actually pretty impressive, so we’ve learned not to question the process. 😂
Whether she’s pitching, making a play somewhere else on the field, stepping into the batter’s box, encouraging a teammate, or taking her captain duties VERY seriously, Olivia brings something valuable to this team every time she steps on the field.
We’re excited to have #8 and her family with us this season and can’t wait to watch her continue to grow as both a player and a leader!
