Rose Hill softball’s Paige Green is coming off of a great junior year campaign, where she was selected as a first-team all-league pitcher.
Green has always done what is best for the team and has been that way since she was a freshman when she was asked to become a third baseman with no prior experience.
“With this being my senior year and my fourth year playing for the high school, the underclassmen definitely look up to me,” Green said. “Being a leader for those girls, and the team as whole is not a role that is taken lightly, and definitely makes an impact on the team. It means a lot to me to see the underclassman look up to me and it pushes me to be better for not only myself, but for them and the program as well.”
The senior now uses her varsity experience to dominate with her current stats of a batting average of .400 and on base percentage of .483, while pitching really well with 22 strikeouts already.
“As a leader I feel like I bring experience and a calmness under pressure,” Greens said. “having played many years of high level softball has helped me to have a good on field awareness and heads up in situational plays. I bring a strong knowledge of the game that is helpful both in practice and game situations, especially for the underclassmen. I also feel like I play well under pressure, pitchers take on a big role, especially under pressure but I have learned to not let that affect me.”
