“To say Bailey is stellar in the circle would be an understatement. She keeps opposing hitters off-balance with an array of pitches, including one of the best change-ups I have seen. She’s also one of the top hitters in our district.”

Head Coach - Head coach of Lake Braddock High

The 5-foot-7 senior right-handed pitcher had led the Spartans to a 22-1 record and a berth in the Class 6, Region C tournament semifinals at the time of her selection.
