“She’s an absolute monster at the plate. She has a wide zone and will swing at anything, but also has the ability to hit anything. She can be patient and hunt her pitch. Or, if you try and get ahead and get a quick strike, she will make you pay.”
Tyler Dickerson
Head Coach - Blue Valley West High

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot junior corner infielder led the Saints (25-4) to the Class 5A state championship game this past season. Sabers batted .667 with 64 RBI and 12 home runs with the latter two statistics representing single-season program records. Ranked as the nation’s No. 95 prospect in her class by Softball America, she also scored 50 runs and compiled a .717 on-base percentage to earn First Team All-Eastern Kansas League.

Academic Achievement

Sabers has maintained an A average in the classroom. She has made a verbal commitment to play softball on scholarship at Penn State University beginning in the fall of 2027.

Exemplary Character

Sabers has volunteered locally in multiple capacities with Variety KC, a nonprofit organization benefitting kids with disabilities. Along with her friend, Kaden, who has a condition called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), she has helped open inclusive and accessible parks and accompanies Kaden to book signings, where she reads, “Variety Tales: Kaden’s Dream,” the first in a series of books that explore the dreams of Variety KC kids.
