The 5-foot-6 senior right-handed pitcher posted a 21-2 record in the circle with a 0.36 earned run average this past season, leading the Raiders (21-2) to the Class 4A East Region championship game. Beasley-Polko allowed just 43 hits and struck out 331 batters in 157 innings pitched. She fired six no-hitters, including one perfect game, and 15 shutouts. At the plate, Beasley-Polko batted .590 with eight doubles, a .640 on-base percentage and a .794 slugging percentage. A two-time Washington Post All-Met selection, she concluded her prep softball career with 1,066 strikeouts.
Beasley-Polko has maintained a weighted 4.09 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play softball on scholarship at Coastal Carolina University beginning this fall.
Beasley-Polko has volunteered locally at the Forrest Career and Technology Center, which promotes protecting the environment, and she has donated her time to numerous community beautification projects. "Kaitlin can completely take over a game from the circle on any given day," said Mike Johnson, head coach of Huntingtown High. "And at the plate she is one of the better hitters in our conference. Not as dominant as with her pitching but a bat that all opposing pitchers have to look out for."
