Player to Watch Alex Dummitt Cooper High School

[coachtf]

Alex Dummitt for Cooper High School is undoubtedly one of the hardest workers in NKY softball. Alex is beginning her 5th year as a varsity starter at Cooper, and she has worked so hard over these years to become one of the most consistent and successful pitchers in NKY. Alex started as an infielder and was thrust into the role of a pitcher a couple of years ago and she threw herself into this, working and developing her game all the time. Alex had a record of 14-12 last year, with an ERA of 4.14, walking only 37 batters all year. Alex also is one of our best hitters, and she hit .288 last year batting out of the 5th spot in the lineup. Alex struck out only 7 times in over 100 plate appearances, and she had 41 at bats of 6 or more pitches last year - she knows how to work the count and has a great eye at the plate. She also stole 18 bases last year and was caught only twice, although she makes us nervous with her sliding as our pitcher! She has been named one of our captains for this season, a very deserving honor! Alex will be playing summer ball with KAOS. A better teammate you will not find, Alex Dummitt is a great young lady with a bright future and we're lucky to have her!

Great job Alex and good luck this season.
