We want to start by thanking to Wayne and Angel Miller of the Ladyhawks for helping us with this tryout each year. The softball talent level in the Northwest is very good, and we always seem to find a young player or two who shows great potential. Last year, Addison Fisher, a talented young pitcher who will be a high level recruit, blew us away. And this year, 12 year old Joy Wilde just left us shaking our heads in amazment. She is a 2025 C/1B who can really swing it, and we will be anxious to see her progress thru the years. Here is a link to a remarkable story about Joy - Mariner's Home Town Nine.
There were several other players who caught our eye as well. 2023 1B/3B Cameron Dunn was exceptional both offensively and defensively. 2022 pitcher Sauren Garton showed some nice spin and solid velocity. She has a bright future if she just keeps working and gets stronger in the next few years.
We want to remind everyone that this process is difficult. We understand the anxiety of being both a parent and a player who is taking this journey. As we tell people all the time, each one of us has a path. For some the path will go one way. Others will find a different, unique journey. However, if you are willing to work, put in the time, get the best coaching available, and make yourself into the best athlete you can be . . . then it will probably work out for the best.

Please remember that the ODM numbers, while growing increasingly important, are only a snapshot of a player’s evaluation and potential. They are also just a portion of the Tryout selection process, for more information read Your Tryout & ODM Numbers. Use these numbers as a tool and work at developing your athleticism, but constantly work on improving and refining your softball skill set – both offensively and defensively.
These numbers have also been posted to your profile. An Allister Index is not given with Tryout ODM numbers.
