RBI single for Lily Haluska!
Raiders still threatening with one out and two runners in scoring position.
Another 2026 catcher to keep an 👀 out for!
This girl can swing it & convert so many stri-balls behind the plate.
Love to see you work, @khloefelicani26!
Working hard this winter! Getting ready for highschool season😊😊@PolarCrush @PTP_softball
This 2026 catcher is one to 👀!
✔️ High-academic student
✔️ Lefty hitter with power
✔️ Catcher that pitchers love
Keep working, @PaigeSweet2026!
Great bullpen tonight with @ReganCoco2027!! This winter I’m working on upping my throwing velocity and my presentation when receiving pitches. Excited to be back at it! @SoftballExeter @PTP_softball

If you judge your worth by your achievements, you tend to feel worthless whenever you fall short of a goal.
Building a stable foundation of confidence comes from learning to separate your performance from your self-esteem.
Your accomplishments and accolades do not define you.

Let’s introduce another first year: Livy Schultz from Massachusetts. Welcome to Midd, Livy ‼️💙🤍 #gomidd #gomiddsoftball
There aren’t enough words to describe how proud I am of @madisonscrib17! From day one, she’s held the vision of becoming a college softball player, and never wavered. She’s a passionate, determined, and gritty competitor. @ncbison_sball is getting a great one 💪🏻
Congrats, Maddy!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since I graduated from Tufts. At that time, I could never have imagined that I’d be a part of an athlete’s journey who would also land there, even playing the same position. The coolest full circle moment!
Congrats, @erin_hersh! 🐘

It’s always a great day when I get to test my new ideas [I mean work] with Maysin!

It was so great to finally get another lesson with @PTP_softball and reconnect. We worked on some throwing progressions as well as some receiving. Working on the inside and outside part of the plate and incorporating the change up.

I loved this Mindful Moment from @Headspace this morning!
I tell athletes that what they’re doing is way less important than how they’re doing it. As a coach, I believe that my job is to teach athletes how to be mentally present, engaged, and on task — for softball & beyond.
This is why we do what we do with regard to teaching a knee-down stance! If taught correctly, it allows catchers to be able to keep balls in front and control the run game while always prioritizing reception of the pitch — which is where we make the biggest impact.
Listen👇🏻
Thursday's Yankees coverage will start at 6 p.m. on BP All-Access with @M_Marakovits! In "Mere on the Move," she'll get a catching lesson from Tanner Swanson & talk with him about how the position has changed over time.

You can’t perform if you’re not well.
But you can boost your wellness (and perform better) by:
• Eating well
• Managing stress
• Moving your body
• Sleeping 7-8 hours
• Practicing resilience
• Setting aside time for play
• Clarifying your goals and values

In June, @madisonscrib17 (2025 C/UT) put up some impressive pop time numbers 👏🏻
Using @HitTraxOfficial, her top pops were…
» Feet: 1.86s (0.74s exchange)
» Knee: 1.87s (0.75s exchange)
With similar numbers from her feet & knees, Maddy has versatility to control the run game!
Looking to finish strong! 💪🏻
