Leanna Bachman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our Female Athlete of the Day is exceptional.\u00a0 Leanna Bachman<\/a><\/strong>, a senior from Liberty Union-Thurston High School in Thurston, Ohio, is an outfielder with a 2.7 home-to-first time and a perfect 4.0 GPA.\u00a0 Her NSR scouting report says of her that, “Talk about the full package.\u00a0 This young lady, at 16, has a resume that most adults would be envious of.\u00a0 Not only does she partcipate in 4-H, participate in FFA, raise pigs, ride horses, manage her own busines and swim for her high school swim team, but she plays softball too….and she’s pretty darn good at it. Leanna excels both in the classroom and on the field and has fully dedicated herself to becoming one of the best softball players in her area.\u00a0 At school, she’s carried a 4.0 GPA for the last two years, and she is ranked first in her class.\u00a0 Leanna is a 5’4”, 135 pound left-handed centerfielder but can and will play anywhere in the outfield.\u00a0 She has spent some time at several infield positions, but she is a true outfielder with great speed.\u00a0 She has a strong and accurate arm from the outfield.\u00a0 Her knowledge of the game surpasses most seniors, and she dedicates a great deal of time to training year round with both a hitting instructor and a speed, strength and agility coach.\u00a0 The speed training has paid off resulting in a “home to 1st” time of 2.7 and a “home to home” time of 11.6….and she’s getting faster.\u00a0 Leanna is no slouch at the plate either.\u00a0 In 2011, her high school batting average was .452 and her travel ball average was .421.”\u00a0 And when Leanna speaks to college coaches in her NSR essay, she delares, “As a softball player, I strive to be an impact player on my softball team. I want to be the player my team depends on to get a hit, steal a base or make the catch. I want to be the player my team depends on to provide leadership and encouragement to other teammates. My goal is to make an impact every time I step on the field.\u00a0 To me there are three main characteristics of being an impact player; mental focus, power and teamwork. I continually try to develop these characteristics to improve my game on and off the field.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
