“Where do I begin? I’ll start by saying Addison is the real deal. In the circle, her rise ball is dangerous and she can spot-up other pitches where she wants them. Her confidence and poise in the circle is remarkable, in and of itself. At the plate, she knows what she wants to hit and when she does, it can go a long way.”
