COLLEGE SHOWCASE CAMP
Date: Saturday, January 18th, 2025 1-4PM
Location: Sluggers Academy, Medfield, MA
College Coaches Present: 13
Total Players: 48

For the second straight year, Firecracker Sports has kicked off its event schedule in Medfield, MA for a Softball College Showcase. This year, 50 plus athletes from the classes of 2025-2029 joined us and 13 College Coaches to showcase their abilities and grow as a player. They had the opportunity to interact with the Coaches and staff, and hopefully everyone gained some new knowledge to apply to their training and game! Huge thank you to the College Coaches for coming out to help the players, and the Sluggers Academy for using their facility for the second year in a row.

All players performed well, with high energy but we wanted to highlight a few performances that stood out, both from the offense and defense side of the game. One thing we want to stress is that these numbers and performances were at the beginning of January. If you, as a player, are disappointed in your results, please do not be. This is a great baseline for yourself going into your seasons and there is still plenty of time before the season starts to get to where you want to be. We use the top metric testing devices and software such as Trackman, Swift, Stalker Radar Guns and of course our college coach evaluations to finalize each player’s profile independently. We do not have teams or players in these events so we are “Switzerland” or independent in these evaluations as we want to see everyone do well! With that being said the following are the best performances from this past Saturday.

Top Metric Leaders

Top Speed/Agility Players (30 Yard Dash)

Top Pitchers (Fastball Velo)

Top Catchers (Pop Time)

Top Hitters (Exit Velo)

Top Players To Look Out For

Taylynn Robinson showed her high intensity through the event and made a difference for herself behind the plate and at the plate; Holding the highest catcher pop time with her quick reaction skills that relayed into her high agility skills within the field, She averaged the highest exit velocity along with average distance hit, showing her consistency at the plate.
Dinkenesh Levesque was a star pitcher in this event showcasing her skills with different pitches in her lineup. Not only did Levesque hold the key to the pitching category by averaging the highest fastball average of the group, but her ability to maintain average speeds while fluidly switching pitches made her a stand out.
Mia Baffoni was a player to keep an eye on as she had speed on the field. As an outfielder, Bafonni had the second fastest dash time while also being in the top 3 outfielder velocity. She was a smart player with reading her plays and the speed to beat the ball and make the next play. Her onfield presence was loud, creating a name for herself beyond her stats.

To wrap up, we want to again thank the College Coaches from College of the Holy Cross, Rhode Island College, Tufts University, Nichols College, Westfield State University, UMass Boston, American International College, Mass Maritime, Framingham State University, Emmanuel College, Worcester State University and Salem State University for helping us and the players through a great day.
