The 5-foot-9 sophomore right-handed pitcher and infielder led the Yellow Jackets (26-6) to the Class 4A state championship this past season. Betenbaugh compiled a 16-4 record and a 1.38 ERA in the circle to go with a .504 batting average, nine home runs and 52 RBI at the plate. An All-State and All-Region honoree, she is ranked as the nation's No. 25 recruit in the Class of 2019 by FloSoftball.
Betenbaugh has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her junior year of high school this fall.
A devoted member of her church youth group, Betenbaugh has served as a peer tutor and has volunteered locally on behalf of youth sports programs. "She did a fantastic job this year," said James Marlow, head coach at Lugoff-Elgin High. "She throws hard, she throws strikes and she doesn't walk people. She's also an extremely dangerous hitter who can bang the ball around the entire ballpark."
