well, dusts off her cleats ending her last season with the Coyotes.
Leffingwell ranked in the top five for overall statistics of the season, ranking third place in both RBI’s with 23 and HR’s with three.
Furthermore, she earned fifth place for overall batting average of .269 and her 18 runs scored. In addition, she took fourth for overall hits with 42.
The stats show that Leffingwell is a skillful player both at the plate and in the field.
She made player of the week while making some of her best plays when the Coyotes faced the Stanislaus Warriors.
“When we played Stanislaus and I got player of the week, on Friday I went six for seven,” said Leffingwell.
Furthermore, she played her best games of the season when the Coyotes swept the Chico State Wildcats who finished the season ranking fourth in conference.
“Our senior weekend when we swept Chico, they were ranked fourth in conference so that was awesome,” said Leffingwell.
She continued, “Overall becoming a better outfielder and stuff it was great I saw myself like grow up in a way,” as she reflects on her previous achievements throughout the season.
During her interview Leffingwell’s smile and kind heartedness shined, although you would never know what an aggressive player she was without looking at her stats.
Leffingwell left her print on every field that she stepped on by playing her very best and giving her all in every game since she began her athletic career.
“I started playing baseball when I was four years old and I didn’t switch over until the end of eighth grade […] growing up I knew that I couldn’t play with the guys in baseball, so I had to make a switch over,” said Leffingwell.
Leffingwell explained how making the switch from baseball at the end of eighth grade and beginning softball in high school, was something that she needed to do so that she could continue her athletic career.
She mentioned how she tried to participate in other activities when she was younger, but the diamond has always called her name.
Leffingwell’s dedication and inspiration from her parents has brought her great achievements while playing for the Coyotes, as she waits to pursue her career in becoming a sports conditioning coach.
“To my parents I want to thank them for supporting me and pushing me to achieve my goals and I love them,” said Leffingwell.
She wants to pursue a career in sports conditioning and help her favorite baseball team the Angels with their needs.
Leffingwell will be graduating this winter; however, due to her dedication to the Coyotes she decided to take some classes in other quarters so that she could still be involved with the team.
Leffingwell leaves the field with great accomplishments but will continue on to fulfill her future career goals.
