D-BAT NorCo MVP Spotlight: Lily Kiriakos 🥎
Lily Kiriakos is the definition of hard work, leadership, and heart. A standout athlete for the Colorado Royals 14U Select, Lily competes at a high level in both softball and track (long jump and 4x200). Despite her busy schedule, she still shows up every week ready to put in the work.
Since training with Coach Erika in June of 2025, Lily has grown tremendously as a pitcher and hitter, increasing her speed, accuracy, and confidence in the circle while becoming one of her team’s most consistent offensive leaders. Recently, she dominated tournament play with 14 strikeouts in one weekend!
What makes Lily truly special is who she is off the field. She’s a leader at school, an advocate for younger students, and someone who brings energy and positivity everywhere she goes. Coach Erika says Lily’s “heart of gold and personality like no other” make every lesson fun and inspiring.
Her and her dad, Alan, have a special relationship that adds personality to each one of her lessons. He hardly misses an opportunity to catch for Lily and brings a presence that makes lessons with Coach Erika full of encouragement, compassion and hard work.
When she’s not competing, Lily loves spending time with friends and family, cheering for the Denver Broncos and Tennessee Vols, and dreaming big — with goals of becoming both a college softball player and a lawyer someday
We’re proud to have Lily represent the D-BAT NorCo community! Keep shining, Lily⭐
